Fair question. It is easier to put the bends in it than heavy wall tube. That said, this thing is stout enough that if it bends during use, something else is going to break at the same time.
Guess I'll update this a bit more. I got the frame all stripped down and got everything welded up. Motor mounts, shock towers, rock ski mounts, radius arm mounts, and drop bracket for the track bar.
While doing all that stuff I ground the sloppy factory welds down and welded up any poorly welded areas. Lots of grinding and not fun stuff. At least that's all done now. Major work on the chassis is about finished!
