Well, putting unnecessary weight in it with really thick steel sections is a lot different than using heavy duty suspension components. The problem for me is that I look at a 1/4" plate just sitting there and know that most of it isn't doing anything.
Metal that's close to or on the neutral axis is just along for the ride.

You don't have to be Anthony Colin Bruce Chapman, but economy doesn't have to mean cheap.

If you have to put weight ( about 80 lbs ) in for safety, the neutral axis zone is where you want to put it - especially if your ass is also sitting in the neutral axis zone. Perfect for mounting seats / seat belts or possibly a roll bar.
