Structure is 2 x 2 x 1/8 steel tubing, 1/4" gussets. The receiver socket is 2.5 x 2.5 x 3/16" (which is a little loose on a 2" stinger). This attachment weighs only 15 lbs.

Then built the lifter part. The stinger end is 2 x 2 x 3/16. The two lifter prongs are made of 1 x 2 x 1/8". Looks kinda like its asking for abuse.
