Also, you need blocks on the inside of the 2x1 to prevent the wheel bolt from just crushing it.
Thanks for the tip, that is my biggest concern as well. We do plan to run solid blocks in the frame, either wood or UHMW as we have a big chunk left from last year. I want to learn as much as possible from this, so that our kids can learn as much as possible from this, so we are trying a lot of new things.
