considered a hydraulic set up? I'm no engineer but 3/4" steel allthread into a 4140 heat treat bar should support your 2000lbs. Just drill, tap and groove the bar before you heat treat(you'll save time and tools). The best thing to do is check with a reputable machine shop who are familiar with similar situations. D.
