The eye bolt seems to be kinda long.the farther out you are the easier it will be to bend.Looks like a really good set up for little money.Just get some shorter eye bolts.

Just my thought ,

If there is any way you can mount that I-bolt vertically so all the force is pulling straight down, you will be good to go. Alternativelly, you should shorten the shaft of the bolt as much as possible.

Shorter thicker eye bolt:

Right now, in the picture, I have it holding 50lbs of weight to make sure it will hold. Seems to be good.

i would be interested to see some pictures of handymansd's setup. from reading it, it sounds pretty elaborate and a cool setup.
