They are 1/4" thick and on a radius so nearly impossible to bend in a short distance as when locating the jack next to u-bolts. Go to a scrap yard and ask to see a piece of 3" schedule 40 pipe, same as tubes on 3500# and up axles until you get to maybe 8or9K axles then they get thicker wall.
They are not that thick, eTrailer states .16" on their website. Thickness
Dexter will produce axles in two different thicknesses for a 3500 lb. axle.
For the axles were talking about here for camper use are 3" diameter, I do believe, and they are 1/4" wall. The smaller #3500 axles that are thinner wall are 2 3/8" diameter.
