It arrived with a kink in the middle, likely from shipping, but we were able to use the material on either side of the kink anyway with little waste. We used this for our rear rail and bumper supports on our WCD. We used 0.125" wall on our front rail due to concerns about the stresses on the frame in that area from our 4 large torsion springs, but I would venture to say we would use 0.080" on that front rail in most years moving forward.

I looked into Alro a while ago for .062" wall, and they had it. 1251 showed it to me as I think it's still where they order from.
