I was looking under my 2008 kk for tow points in case I would need to pull or to be pulled .
I have no hitch ( at least not yet ) so there seems to be little place to hook up except on the suspension.What do you guys use for tow points?

dont forget the shipping bolt holes on the 4 corners of the frame inside the wheels..
they are oblong holes and you can see the metal is double thickness on these points.

Definitely try not to use the suspension, you might end up with more issues after you get un-stucked.
:shock:

My daughter had to pull me out of a snow bank once. My 09 had 1 hook on the front and all she had was her front skid plate. I had to hook to that (lucky, there was a hole in a bend of the plate so the hook fit right in). It worked fine. If I had to do it again though, I would have drove around and hooked to the rear of my rig vs the front but I didn't want to get her's stuck too. However, I did learn that her 02 Limited goes WAY BETTER in the snow then my 09. The same up to the berm was about over a foot. The bank I centered on was 3 feet and hard. If I had hit it with more power, I would have went up and over, instead, it went up and stopped, then settled. Skid plates made it like a pie pan and wheels couldn't get a grip.
