With the Sammy's 1.5" tubing is usually considered thick enough. Not sure about which bender to use, but make sure you get a tubing bender and not a pipe bender. You CAN use a pipe bender if your really careful, but you should use a tubing bender to be on the safe side.

JD (bender) is what most people around here buy. As for tube size 1.5" in .120 wall is populare yet light. I would recommened DOM steel. It can hold up to hits better than your reqular tube steel. Chromolly is best but big $. Many fabricators are going to larger .175 tubes for more surface strenght & stronger where tube ends get welded. It's all about the surface area when the cage/bumper gets tested. Pictured tubes are all .175 D.O.M. .120 wall steel.
