Thanks!
Sometimes easier said than done based on the skill sets at that time.
But that doesn't mean I didn't store that in the back of my mind and after looking over all the other single wheel setups that I would be able to implement it.

Maybe I can use some Grade 8 bolts along with some steel plates in lieu of the square U bolts.

You might find Grade-8 square U-Bolts at a bolt supply house.I've been getting forged steel and Grade-8 locally.The peace of mind is worth the searching!

Test runs have very good. Really quiet ride now. New hitch setup is not allowing Dark Aero to roll or yaw when it only had one attachment point. The new gap cover is working well but I need to transition away from the Coroplast in the future.

The metamorphosis this trailer (and truck) has undergone is amazing.
