Default Important Weight Question about ANGLE IRON

Hey guys. I'm getting ready to remove my rear bumper on my camper and
attach angle irons directly to the I-Beam frame in order to haul my
golf cart on the rear of the camper. I got the idea from a fellow
camper this past weekend. Even took pictures of his setup.

Here is my question. I am consider purchasing two 6 foot 3 X 3 X 1/2"
angle iron. I will bolt 2 feet of the angle iron onto the frame of the
camper with 4 feet sticking out to the rear. I will bolt 2 x 6 treated
wood to the tops of the angle iron for the golf cart to rest. Will
this demension angle iron I have selected support the weight of a
1,000 lb golf cart being pulled on the rear of a camper?

Will this work?
