Which die should I get for cages and bumbers???
1 3/4 x 5 x 240 or 1 3/4 x 6 x 240
 
I just ordered the 6" CLR, the 5" will probably thin the outside wall too much.
 
I think it's mostly a matter of what looks good to you. I think the smaller radius looks better, and it often fits better, especially for cages. As for thinning, I doubt there is an appreciably difference between the two dies.

FWIW, I don't think they make a 5. Should be 5.5 unless things have changed...
