Ideally you would use the I-beam part of the trailer frame to mount Curt trailer hitch # 13703. Welded on extensions like the box tube part are often not strong enough to properly support a trailer hitch. I have included a link to the installation instructions for this hitch and a video showing one of the ways this hitch can be installed.
