Happy Building!

One of the things that you have to plan out is your running gear. With a trailer that size I'd go with 15" wheels and be done with it, yes 14" will also carry the weight just fine. I have a 6x12 cargo trailer and it has 2"x3" frame rails, 4" drop 3500# axle located over the springs with fairly short spring hangers....12" under the frame. That's about as low as they could get it with standard hardware...and the axle travel is only about 1-3/4" before if hits the frame, which I'm not totally wild about, but I guess it works.

I'm thinking that I will need to recess the wheels underneath the body.
