Do you have any plans to tie the frame together to prevent flex? If you don't, I suggest you look into it. A lot of frame flex will cause your axles to be out of alignment, which will also throw off where your wheels sit in the chassis, and can potentially cause driving issues and loosen chains.
The front open end is already stabilized. We noticed that right away too.
