needs to be countersunk to avoid interference if the
adapter plate is positioned behind the Quick Lift bracket.
A 5/16"-18 hex key countersunk bolt will work. The bolt
head is .195" so an 1/8" would not be thick enough.
Adapter positioned in front of the Quick Lift bracket will likely
require you to hog out a relief for bottom bolt clearance (red circle).
Does this look like what you were thinking?

EXACTLY! Bought some quarter inch by three-quarter inch wide steel at the Home Depot. It will fit perfectly and not even show! The quick lift will bolt in the top pole just as you were showing and I will book the plate again at the bottom hole and make the 2 1/4 inch hole, the middle hole that showing on your drawing. I’m not sure about everybody else’s, but my tubes boat directly into the frame itself. So, with half-inch all thread, going through the center of the steel tubes directly into the frame, this should easily be able to hold being jacked up.
