    yep you going to have some front end weight that really not a place to be thin. i would use DOM 250 wall just welding the thin $$wall moly to some$$ moly round stock for the King pins your getting in to a lot for nothing i think. were the DOM is cheap weld s and round stock for pin boss.s is cheap . and if you land the front hard your not going to bend some tubing
