I went 44x3.2 for mine but next time I would go 50 x 4-5. It might not look like it now but once done the 33 will be tiny.

Pipe/tube is not the best for sliders. Sliders cop the most abuse of any outerbody protection devices. They constantly get the full weight of the vehicle landing on them. Unless you go something silly like 75mm, the tube/pipe will kink. How well it's gussetted depends on how much it bends once it kinks. You are much better off using something like 75x50x3.2 RHS. :cool:
