I would think that you want the cage as it exists to also act as a chassis stiffener as per the forward dog legs.
So the bar is there not just to keep the roof off of you but to triangulate the chassis, I would think?
You want the cage to hold the sheet metal off of you as well?
You want the cage to relocate the "crush zones" to a place not in the cabin.
