Thanks for the reply and info. I have a while before I get to this point but am starting to think about it.

The bolts are 3/4", and, yes, they did bend, even with the 1/4" steel plate tipping plates.  I think, If I had welded 3/4" pipe to the 1/4 plates and then put the bolts through, they may not have bent.

What size are the bolts? Did they bend?
