I ordered my flat out rear kit today. Cant wait to get going
In the interest of keeping things moving, I decided not to overthink it and use a method that someone else here has proven. I don't anticipate hauling heavy loads, but just thinking through the process and where the stress points would be, this should be plenty strong. It can also be boxed for even greater rigidity.

I imagine that the c-notches people put in their frames are probably weaker than this splice.
