Building a trailer question

I'm building a lightweight aluminum trailer to haul my bike south for winter. I want to use torsion half axles rated at 1000 lbs each. (2000 lbs total load weigh). Is this going to be too stiff for a 125 lb trailer and a 900 lb bike? The pic is showing what the trailer will look similar to.

Steve should be able to shed some light on this.

You will be fine with the 1000Lbs. torqueflex stub axles. The 2000lbs. rating is a maximum rating and torqueflex work on progressive dampening

Thanks, Steve. But can you put that so a first grader understands it? Is that going to be enough dampening?
