I've seen one of those jegs style cages. It was the most uncomfortable cobbled (even with pro install) jobs I've ever seen. I went with a custom rollcage and I am very happy with the quality, fit, and visual looks.

Go custom. Cages are like tunes; sure the generic ones work, but they aren't nearly as nicely finished.

Usually the pieces run long and of course are not notched. Also, the pre bent cages tend to be on the loose side. I've never seen a pre bent cage that just needs to be welded and is tight to the shape of your truck. I would advise a custom cage. If you decide to do the cage yourself let me know, I can give you a few pointers.
