The frame is not being pulled in two different directions and more importantly the "tie down" rings are welded to the frame and have a 45 degree angle bend that is often put in a bending situation depending upon the angles of your straps.
The tow rings are required in some countries and therefor are included with the chassis. Short haul across town? Fine, long haul over bad roads, no thank you.

Do what you want, but we prefer the frame or control arms to attach to (yrmv).
