If I do it will be just over the 3 pockets in front of the the fenders. I do have some 1.5" x 1/4" I could use.If you have the steel I would do it. It looks very clean & as JR stated it gives you a nice place to wrap tie downs on etc.

No removeable fenders?
Shawn why use wheel chocks when you can just surf the runaway trailer into a nearby tree....or so I've heard.
Humble suggestion if I may. I’d triangulate at least the sides of the front wall you built with some plate. Same for the tongue jack as that single cross member will twist. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I'm just looking at the picture of your bump rail. Do you have anything to support your decking on the very front frame piece that the rail is welded to?
Easier to add it now then need it later. A piece of angle cut to fit would do the trick.
Referring to heating the paint in warm water.

Do you need the bottom set of holes on the channel. You could just run a bolt or clevis through that if you don't think it will be needed.
I just don't want to wind up missing a digit or limb. I can sometimes get in a hurry to get results.
If you can't use them, which I don't see why not, then I'd drill right at the bottom close enough that your chain link sits flat on the edge of the channel. My thought is you lose less structural strength there than if you used the bottom edge of the channel.
When I repaired trailers we would still drill the holes first. Sure the hardware is better now but in the long run we saved lots of time.
