We did a very similar drivetrain in 2013 (so much so that we had the tube between the wheels, although ours was 8 wheel drop) and had a horrible time with warping and flexing. We actually weren't able to drive in a straight line towards the end of it's life. In 2014 we moved back to our beloved 6 wheel drop and added a top structure. It has been the most solid frame we've ever built just because of the second structural layer.
