Yaris hb with trailer hitch.

I understand the want to convert it to 2". A word of warning, that much weight and bumps = blown shocks. Experience speaking here.

And again, there is nothing to gain by sandwiching the tie downs.

Yup, that's another concern. I've loaded several hundreds pounds in the back without problem many times, but it was mostly over and forward of the rear axle beam. Now it's gonna be behind the rear axle, no weight to be carried by the front wheels. I don't think I'm gonna be loading more than 200lbs often at all, mostly 50-100lbs. However I want it to be stiff and to possibly handle a light duty snow plow or winch/pulling up to a 2000lbs rolling weight.
