Jared,
That looks to be a good solution to the problem ! On my BlueOx hitch, the pieces that make up the stinger are solid material, rather than tube stock. And the use of grade eight bolts in that application is a good idea as well. When using grade 8 bolts and nuts, one should ensure they are using hardened washers as well. Some people call them "grade 8" washers, although there is disagreement as to whether the hardened washers are actually called grade 8 or not. Some folks who sell them, call them as grade eight....whatever, make sure they are "hardened" as less washers can actually "flatten out" ( yield ) over time, resulting in yet again, a loose fastener.
