8"x12" and 1/8 thick steel pipe for LCA mod

I can't seem to find any local. Does anybody know where I can get the 1/8 thick stuff? Seems everybody has 1/4. I just need a foot to start my LCA bag modification. Thanks!

why not just use the 1/4 thick pipe?

Thicker pipe takes away from the inner diameter size. I want as much IDA as I can get while keeping it strong.

i don't have an answer on the material and I know you didn't ask for opinions but i've always concluded that cupping the LCA is a whole lot of work for very little return. <shrug>

I know there are many opinions on this subject. It's basically a free 3" more drop for the bag system i'm installing on my truck which will give me the bag pressure I want at ride height. I think the reture will be great for what I'm looking for.
