Trailer Coupler Hinge Kit Recommendation for 3 inch by 3 inch Channel that is 1/4 inch Wall

Question

Question:

I have a trailer tongue that is 3 x 3 with 1/4inch wall thickness. I see your specs only reference up to 3/16. Will your product work on my trailer, or would a weld on be better? Thanks
