I just cut up some "shackle" mounts for the Jeep. I'm going to weld one to the front and rear axles to use as trailer tie off points.
Anyhow, the one I made for the rear axle, there's about 3/16" of material around the 2 sides of the hole and about 5/16" around the front of the hole. The hole is 1" (to fit the ratchet strap hook) The mount is shaped like a triangle "D" if you can picture it.
Anyhow, it's 3/8" material. Think that's thick enough on the sides?
