I think I would be more incined to use 5356, lot stronger than 4043. Do a couple test welds and take a sledge hammer to them and see
Farm code 101

4043 is good for anything without a bind, but i would use 5356 in his situation. company i used to work for, if they caught you useing 4043 on anything, get ready for a a** eating. you might be alright using 4043 on it exept the pad-eyes. i wouldn't take a chance.
I would use 4043 unless somebody came up with a WPS that said otherwise. While 5356 is stronger, You are only welding it to 3xxx. The 3xxx plate is the weak link.

According to Table 4.2 in D1.2 (2008), ER4043 is the correct filler.
