For what its worth, 125 wall tube is plenty strong for the biggest of vehicles under compression. When the open ends are restricted in movement (if welded to a flange), you could easily suspend the full weight of the car on one cup. The failure mode would be if they get dented from the side, then youre in trouble. Im sure you remember as kids we could stand on an empty coke can and it would support our weight... and thats just a coke can.
