Rob,
I just had a good chuckle.
I could/should have worded my message a bit differently, which is a common fault of mine. What I think and what I write don't always match.
"Ladder frame" can be interpreted in several ways.
I was obviously trying to refer to the vehicle frame structure (a ladder frame design) which is not tolerant of heavy pulling forces from one corner. One might pull the frame out of square if not cautious.
