Cage Guys: How does it affect steering?

[Speed_racer]

I know the cage dramatically increases the strength of your unibody.

So I was curious, how exactly does a cage affect on road ride? Cornering? And things like that.

My xj, will be built bigger soon, but I was thinking a cage in case of that unfornature rollover some of us dread (some of you freaks like it :conceited , lol).

So, if you'd answer about how it affects on road ride, I'd appreciate it!

Also, Ive seen cages for under $500 shipped, is that a myth? or what sites do you guys recommend?

cage raises your CoG. therefore reduces stability in corners. :laugh3: :rof: :laugh3:

How does adding weight to your vehicle increase your Center o Gravity?

you wont notice it.

I added ALOT of tube, and you wont notice it.

Theoretically, it will stiffen your chassis, and make your anti swaybars work like they were designed to , probably nothing you'd ever notice.

if you add more weight above your current COG than below it, it will rise.

go throw 500 lbs on top of your jeep and see if it doesn't change the COG.

i'm not saying that a cage will raise the COG, just that adding weight can definitely change the COG.

You won't notice it's affect on the steering at all. You will notice that the chassis is stiffer depending on the design of your cage though.
If you these things you will notice it in the steering...
