For right now I want to keep the front looking stock with the airdam...dont worry after I am done those hooks will be stronger than a hitch. I am going to sandwich the frame rails with 1/8 steel welded all around and drill holes through them and mount hooks or loops with Grade 8 bolts then weld them to the frame as well!

I second the D-ring idea. I want to do that on the front of Brutus.

I am not really going to do D ring shackles but what I have in mind is to make mounts attached to the frame that stick out of the front bumper a little to attach screw type clevis too. Got to get my new bumper first and when I take the old one off the fab process will begin...my friend has a machine shop so I have access to steel, welders and what ever else I need. End goal is it's going to be super strong, not obtrusive and look like it might have come from the factory that way.

i've got 2 of them 30,000lb D rings and a 2" reciever in my front bumper....

i've jerked on them ALOT, even had a dozer hooked up to it, and another truck behind mine chained up........ never had any worries about them since!
