I think I figured a way to keep everything intact when removing the hitch with a minimal amount of tooling. My initial process was removing the lower bolt to the shocks but with all the spacing washers on there, it will make it more involved to remove the hitch. Once I git my final attachment setup, I might still keep that process as an option.
I reversed the bolts and installed a T-nut on the vertical 2x4 so I can keep the vertical 2" square tube support attached to the shocks. Just 2 nuts and washers to remove and the shocks stay attached to the square tube support. It will make the hitch that much heavier when it comes to attaching it to the trailer but I think I've got my process down on that setup. It will also give me the ability to secure the air shocks from being stolen when the trailer is sitting all by its lonesome.
