i think it will be fine. if its not down the road, everyone can tell me they told me so. the frame is 2x5 right there, box tubing, not to mention the inside of it is webbed. i got 3/4 of an inch worth of plate reinforcing it with 4 (8 total) 5/8 grade 8 bolts holding it all together. 1/4 on the outside, 1/4 on the inside, and a 1/4 on the xmember fish plate. now if that fails, then ill take a and eat it.
