[QUOTE="PSG-1, post: 332581, member: 6937"] 1/4" is a bit overkill for any part of the trailer except for the axle tube. This is where you DON'T want to skimp, use the heavier tube. I can't tell you how many trailers I've seen with axles made from 1/8" tubing, and sometimes 1/8" U-channel, often with the axle rusted completely in half. Might as well use beer cans for the axle, it would be just about as strong. [/QUOTE]
