[QUOTE="bassboy1, post: 146742, member: 55"] Get a piece of 1/2" round steel bar, or 1/4" x 1" flat bar as a stiffener. Weld each end to the trailer (on the bottom), and in the middle, put a 3 inch spacer. Barstock is very strong when used in tension, and putting the 3 inch spacer block gives it enough triangulation that it puts it in tension when load is applied. Or, if you wanted to be really trick, you could use a bolt with an adjustment nut as the center spacer, so it can be adjusted if things stretch down the road. [/QUOTE]
