For the metal, the plan is 1/4 inch 2x2 square tubings for the frame, but the tongue (3 pieces) will be 3/8 inch 2x2. Does that sound right?

Thank you for your response, Tom!I would also take a look at where the springs will mount to the frame...

Tony's sample is 5x10, the width is 59 1/2", not 60" (5 ft). Any particular reason for the odd number?

I plan to use Timbren Axle-less suspension. Since there is no real axle or spring, I suppose that "axle" in the drawing indicates roughly where the reenforce bar is.
I'm thinking not to weld in that bar initially. I hope to nail the exact location after I get the Timbren suspension.
The only thing I know about the Timbren suspension comes from Youtube. I hope my plan makes sense.
