Is this a good spot for tow hooks?

Im wondering if this is an ok spot for tow hooks. The metal they're mounted to doesn't look all that thick so im thinking about welding a 1/2" piece of steel to the bottom of it or 1/4" piece of steel on the bottom and top. anybody have any other ideas? anybody mounted them here before and used them? The metal is the same thickness as where mynameisaric had his mounted.....take a look......
