Almost looks like the Teraflex could sleeve the outside of the stocker.

Strength is not just in thickness but diameter also.

I will agree with this statement look at the new prorock 80 the tubes arent as thick as the 60 or even the PR 44 for that matter the 4 inch diameter axle tube makes up for the thickness

Correct, thickness well help against denting but bending strength come from diameter and cross sectional area, diameter being the largest component. That is what a hollow tube is almost as strong in bending/torsion as a solid rod.

My feeling by looking at the pic is that. Pr44 and pr44 hd are stronger against denting than the tera, but are most likely close to the same in bending, while the pr's are most likely heavier due to added wall thickness.
