Option two, you'll never regret it.

Welp, talked it over with my wife and she's gonna check into pulling enough out of the 401K to build me a 24'x30'. Not sure if we can, I'll find out Monday. Shoulda done it sooner, lol, we lost enough this year to build a 30'x40', lol. I went over and did a couple things last night. Mounted up the tie down points in the bed floor. The rear are mounted through the crossmember. The front just through the floor. I need to make a couple reinforcement plates for the front.
These should be strong enough to pick up the tub. They came off a military trailered generator, probably weighed 1500 or so. I also came up with an option 3 for the moment. PLASTIC, lol. Shoulda done this sooner. duh...

Good luck with the potential shop build. As Kurt said (or wrote), you'll never regret it.
