I build that almost 2 years ago.
Cost of 48" of 3" tubing about $40, including cutting.
That was my plan, but after taking a good close look at the factory receiver hitch, I wasn't confident that it was robust enough for 7,000 lbs on a 4' extension. 7,000 lbs on 2' or 3,500 lbs on 4' seemed OK. It cost a lot more to go with the 30k lb Torklift receiver, but I'm glad I did.

I did some calculations and assuming older TL stinger was 2.5" tubing with 1/4" walls combined with 2" solid bar, the 3" tubing with 1/4" wall comes well stronger.
In construction it it cross section height what give it main strength.
Than my boat is less than 3000 lb with minimal tongue weight.
I am not worry.
Besides... I tested my receiver/stinger pretty good
