Cheers

Well I did think about that but wasn’t sure about how I could test them

The front hook is pretty good as a recovery point and so a quick and easy option is to buy another front recovery hook from a breakers like Niss-spec1st and fit it on the opposite side so you can fit a bridging strap and even up the load across the chassis. As yours is a 2004 like my Y61 was it should have captive nuts already welded into the chassis for mounting.

Just make sure you get the right year as early Y61 points attached differently. I ran two hooks for a couple years then bought rated points from Aus as I bent a hook on a rock
