Dunno how you're coming up with those numbers, but it sounds like you're talking about static loads and you'd need to multiply that by many times to calculate the strength required to endure the dynamic forces involved (acceleration, braking, etc.). What I'd be concerned about is the domino...

Wouldn't worry about the eyelets failing, as much as the pins bending. That's not an ideal setup, with the slop between the eyelet and the pin and the spaces between the eyelets and the tabs. If the heim-joints failed it would put massive bending loads on those pins (instead of being in shear...

Not trying to be a jerk, but the way those eyelets allow the pins to move around a bit, and the way those heim-joint are oriented - that's a bad combo. Looks unsafe. Would be much better/stronger if you made some simple brackets to re-orient the heim-joints so they'd be inline with the trailer...
