I had to read it a couple of times to understand what happen but I now see what it did. That is a good point to beef up since a ball on top can flex the 3rd point right to left under a extream stress. I just turned the plans over to a design engineer to look at. He is going to give me the stress numbers for all points on the steel and bolts at working load and a 5 to 1 safty factor. He is also going to figure the steel sizes to make sure they are thick and large enought. I think because I added the ball later to the hitch on top that is a good idea for more strength. I am glad I do not have to pay for this because I am sure it would be over $200.00 a hour for him. It helps being married to his Daughter!! Mark H.
