I have seen many ways to do this but I just wanted to share how I installed Weld-on bucket hooks.
I first used a piece of 1 1/2" x 3" Tubing for a reinforced lip to weld the hooks onto, seems to fit very nicely behind the lip. I tacked it in place in the corners and center while leaving the ends as open as possible to keep from having corrosion issues in the future. I welded on 3/8" Hooks purchased from Amazon for $8 a piece and spaced them out about 5 1/2" from the sides.
I plan on in the near future attaching a 2" receiver the the center of the lip.
Enjoy.
