There may be a couple of ways around the problem. One is as Matt says, is to run a rod through to both sides and then encase that in a pipe to prevent bending. Or, use bushings in the yoke of the hitch adapter to spread out the load and to give it a bearing surface. Thirdly, double of the yokes on the hitch adapter to mimic Merk's picture (only the doubling will be on the hitch adapter only). Lastly, follow Merk's picture. I will see what I can come up with.
