One more thought on eye bolts, they hate side loads. By that I mean the load rating drops quick as the load added moves out of line with the eye bolt. Yes I do not seem using this hoist to drag much in a side load (front, back or side). However as the lift arm lifts the load shifts to the back of the bolt. These drops in load rating can be fond in charts from the manufacture and probably generic charts. As long as you stay within those ranges you should be fine. As far as the tube ripping that can be solved by adding a sleeve to the end of the tube (inside or out)
