Depends on how heavy things are you are going to lift. You could do a test with a one fork mock up and see what it takes to bend it first befor going thru all the trouble to finish it. Sorta depends on what steel you are using. You could allways add/weld a section of steel in the channel to beef it up more if needed.

I use 1-1 inch grade 8 bolt w/nut on tention for each fork on my lift and they will not pull out. The fork is a L shape and the bottom hooks over 3/8 inch thick 4 in X 1 1/2 in box steel and the top bolts on with the Grade 8 Bolt. Mark H.
