Have you used those shafts in the past? The first is 2024, which is probably OK. The second is 6061, and I would almost guarantee that it will fail if used in such a high load application. Especially at 3/8" diameter. I'd recommend 2024, 7075, or 7068 for shaft applications. 2024 is the most commonly available (and cheapest).
