Question:
Aloha Jameson, What is the thickness of the metal that your product recommends to weld on the trailer? should it be boxed in with another c channel galvanized metal over the existing trailer?

Timbren axle less kits can install on trailers like yours with C-channel frames. We've had this question sent into us before and when we spoke with Timbren they told us that the C-channel frame design will be fine assuming that the open part of the C is on the inboard side and not the outboard side of the frame. Inboard means towards the middle of the trailer and outboard means towards the outside. If the C opening is on the outboard side you would need to box out the frame by having a professional welder weld the C-closed. In either configuration the kit gets installed like a boxed frame setup.
Since you have a tandem setup the 3,500 lb axle setup part # ASR35HDS01 would work great as tandem setup.
