What's the max. degrees you can bend either a 2.0" x 0.120" DOM tube with either a JD2 Model 3 or Model 32 tube bender???

Along with this. . .this is why I wanna know. . .I've got a Jeep and I wanna make a Stinger for the front bumper but I'm not really sure how many degrees the Stingers usually are or if the bender will even bend the tube that far.

Thanks!!!

180 degrees as long as you buy the dies that are made for 180*.

They sell 90* and 180* dies.

You can bend them past 180*... but good luck getting the tube off

Thanks!

180 deg. max - but you can "segment" (cut and weld) the bends to make any angle you want.
