    If I were to make my trailer with independent suspension and custom arms, would it be reasonably safe to assume I can just buy -- disregarding cost -- an OEM Tacoma wheel bearing and bolt that onto the arm? My reasoning is that if those bearings can lost as long as they do on these trucks without issue, they should do just as good on a trailer, no? There's really not much of a leverage difference because it would bolt the same way the bearing bolts up to the stock spindles.
