Well, is it? There is one made by Blue Ox for the front, curious about it.

Is it designed to withstand the stresses of a front hitch? I see that it is for towing behind an RV. With ALL the heartache about Reese/Drawtite not selling anymore front hitches, this might be an ideal solution. What do you think?

How difficult (if possible) would it be to get those things to function as tow hooks or shackles?

Slip a piece of pipe over the tabs and see if they will take a side load, that's the biggest problem with recovery points. Off center pulling.

I'd be more worried about how they'd take a good hard jerk. They weren't designed for that sorta thing
