I'm looking at putting on some front tow hooks. I've kinda got a plan. I've read tha some people get bent frame members from their tow hooks? Is anyone slinging a strap between their two tow hooks to reduce stress on one frame rail? If so have you had any frame bending?
I'm thinking of using the lower bumper hole and the triangle hole behind it. I'm pretty sure the triangle hole really isn't going to supporting much weight as I'm not sure on the bolt clearance to the front hole yet. Essentially the triangle hole would be a safety for the front. Grade 8 7/16's hardware. Shear strength is around 14K lbs.
By using a sling between them and pulling off the sling do you think I would avoid any frame rail damage?
