To add to what he said, one of the weakest parts of a weld are the start and the end of the weld. The start becasue there is the transisition from the base material to the weld material and that area is weak. Same thing at the end of the weld. The start and stop of a weld are good places for cracks to start. Best thing is to get the weld started and don't stop. This is hard to do without proper fixturing and or rotators. This is just scratching the surface. But that being said, the amount of use that a pulling hitch sees is basically nothing. The chance of a fatigue crack on a pulling his is non existant. You would have to hit tens of thousands of cycles to worry about that. So basically the hitch just has to hold the load once. You should be fine.

I lay on the floor and put that **** in by myself weenie! Jr just laughs when I sit under the truck and put the transfer case in. Of coarse your truck is lower than mine. And im probably a little stronger than you.
