Not that is hasn't worked for you but that shouldn't be a recommended practice, sort of like tie down points. The pin isn't designed to hold that kind of a load across a 2" space and likely will bend of not break. Generally pulls in the rock of AZ aren't nearly as tough as being in 18" of mud stuck to the frame.
