4x4” tubular steel posts.

Rohn part number 260004p.  The lowest price I saw was ~$100 and looks like list 
is $128.  And like you said, out of stock everywhere.
I'm not clear on where/how this gets used with the equalizer plate, but it 
seems there must be a better option. I'm surprised nobody has offered advice on 
that.
Good luck with the project.

They list eye  bolts for lifting, the highest rated, up to 54,000 lbs. 
depending on thread diameter. Galvanized

The guy I spoke with a MC didn’t know what an eye bolt was, have to call back.
