Building a trailer question

[flhtdan]

I'm building a lightweight aluminum trailer to haul my bike south for winter. I want to use torsion half axles rated at 1000 lbs each. (2000 lbs total load weigh). Is this going to be too stiff for a 125 lb trailer and a 900 lb bike? The pic is showing what the trailer will look similar to.

Steve should be able to shed some light on this.

I looked for a trailer section. Can't find one?

You will be fine with the 1000Lbs. torqueflex stub axles. The 2000lbs. rating is a maximum rating and torqueflex work on progressive dampening

Thanks, Steve. But can you put that so a first grader understands it? Is that going to be enough dampening?
