I've had numerous discussions against traditional frame mounted cages. I would recommend you keep the body/cage as a unit separate from the frame and mounted on body mounts rather than tying directly to the frame, which has already been discussed. If you look around in CoG (I think) there were a few discussions about this where I detailed my thoughts on it and how to approach it. I also did the boat-side for my son's never-ending-k5-project with mounts prepared for tying in a cage. Give me a call if you want to talk about it or come see what I did for him. You can also take it a step further do what I did with the truggy which is to actually form a "capsule" out of the cage/subframe.

I will give you a call . Bear in mind I have decided to keep the bedsides on until I can do a tow rig and trailer ( couple years I'd say ) . This pic shows how bad the underbody was :
