 Roll cage: Cab Mounted vs Frame Mounted. Opinions? I'm wanting the roll cage (4 point, hoop behind the seats with bars extending to the bed. I'll try to find a picture) for frame stiffening. When I took the bed off the newer ranger it was all loosey goosey and flexed way out when standing on the corner of the frame. And the new engine will have 2-3x more power than the original. 

If frame mounted, do I need body mounts? I think I read/heard somewhere that a frame mounted roll cage basically negates the use of a body mount. Not sure, need help
