Not sure if it can be seen in the pics, but I wrapped the chain around the 4X4 three times before lowering thru the ceiling. The wraps are each in their own area to spread out the weight. Should be no reason for the chain or the 4X4 to break.
My only concern for safety is the where I hooked the sling strap to the front end....and you guys have assured me that is a strong spot. I did order that scale, just for my own piece of mind, to make sure I'm not off by a few hundred pounds. It will be here tomorrow and I'll hold off using the hoist until I can see the weights.
