You can pick up 2, 12" pieces of 2.5" square tubing (or cut down a longer piece) from a steel supply shop or scrap metal yard. Make sure that it has 3/16" wall thickness.

You could take it to a trailer repair place or welding shop and they can install them for probably ~$150-$200. It's just a 2-3 hour job.

As you will find out from reading this forum for awhile, sooner or later you will probably want to install 15" tires & wheels to increase tire life and lower risk of blow-outs. In order to do that, the trailer will require a lift-kit anyway.
