recovery? is it a jeep? my spf installer told me they are used for tie downs, this was the old dynamic motorsports I believe at one time the largest spf dealer in the country. I am sure they used 7018 weld rod, that is 70,000lb per each square inch of weld. you could drag the car across the country with no wheels and the hook would not break. if you don't trust the hook don't trust the frame as they are made the same

The "tow rings" are intended for recovery towing and not for tie down. To use them for long periods of time with loads pulling front and rear is asking a lot. It is best to use tire straps, second choice is axle straps to the front and rear control arms with one set of ratchets "crossed" to prevent side walking.
