As a half-arse welder and shade-tree fabricator myself, I love saving money by building stuff like this. But know that I am fast approaching retirement, its not as fun as it used to be....especially the getting up off the garage floor part, I will spend the $267 (w/free shipping) for a well made and well thought out product from Torklift and save my brain power and fab time for developing a hitch extension with built-in camper steps and hand rail. :) :)

I semi-retired this year, but even before I was avoiding automotive shops my whole life like a flue.
Between tie-downs, Sulastic hangers, front hitch, tailgate removal, camera moving and regural service and repairs - the truck would spend about 1/2 of its life in shops, not on the roads where I like it.
For front tie-downs make sure the holes and bolts are clean.
I had hard time holding bracket with 1 hand and bolt fishing wire with other and then find that the bolt will not fit into hole becouse of coating overspray.
