Is this your design or from plans?

The buggy is based on a book from Haynes "build your own off-road buggy"
I changed the buggy on several points:
-front suspension
-rear differential
-and a few small things

I have to do some final welding on the frame to fit the rear axle

Ah,yes,I remember now. I might suggest you reinforce the top of the shock mounts with some triangulation.I'm afraid they will be an issue if not done.

What is the issue.
That  the shock mounts wil  bend the square tube under load.
I' am thinking of putting a bar between the two shock mounts to stiffen it up.
Please explane.
