Valid concerns...
This looks interesting to me;

Seems like the easiest thing to install, and the stresses will be on the hitch, so if there was excessive stresses I think you would see the strain on the hitch assembly welds and not the frame directly. And, really not different than dragging the hitch which is often the lowest point already and gets dragged at times anyway...

Note I've not used anything like this in the past, but our new unit will be about 4' longer than old one so this may be something I will need. If so, the above is where I think I would start.
