I too took the advice of others and stepped up to a 24' box; you would be amazed how quickly it fills up. Regarding the 7000 lb axles, I bet they are 3500 lb each with 5 lug wheels. I recommend the 5000 lb axles with 6 lug wheels. It is too easy to overload one or both axles if they are 3500 or 3700 lb each. Also, with the torsion axles, remember that they should be evenly loaded since they can't distribute the load like leaf spring axles. The torsion axles do ride a lot better.
