Saw a youtube video where a guy punched a hole in the bumper in
line with the frame horn and bolted the 2" receiver to it. That
put the HF lift off to the side and out of the tinny bed floor.
Don't see how those cranes bolted to the bed floor ever worked
to begin with without some 'serious' reinforcing plates on
both sides of the bed pan. Even then I would think that it
would bend up the pan with a full load on it. As I said
before, that's an orful long and powerful lever arm when
you have a 1/2 ton of weight hanging from the end.
