1/4" flat steel only at the receiver is not enough to support that weight behind the TT. It's not the weight it's the bounce back there that will tin-can that steel and cause it to fail.
You need to lose the bumper and extend the frame to provide enough support.
Those frame extensions are 1/4" by 2 1/2" angle for rigidity.

Nice fab job though, you do nice work.
