Ready to take her in tomorrow morning to the truck shop to have these recovery points installed. The shop and I decided to use the 3 existing holes in the front and the 2 existing holes in the rear.
They will not use existing nuts.
Instead they will be through-bolted with crush tubes. All hardware to be 8.8 hardness.
Should be strong.
I attached some pics for size. Hopefully the truck shop will snap a few pics as they work! More to come.

See links below, our install video talks about 80 series recovery points/ options. We also discuss reasons for the removal of the hitch/ spare tire.

Got the finished product back! Up front went with 3 bolts, 8.8 hardness, through-bolted with crush tubes.
In back, 2 bolts, not through-bolted because the top of the frame rail was inaccessible. Instead, the original welded on captive nuts were removed and replaced with a double-nut, all 8.8 hardness.
Sorry for the horrible pic of this, but didn't feel like taking the rear bumper corner cap off!
This should be strong enough for use with a bridal setup. I have a 10' 7/8" kinetic rope from Master Pull as the bridal. 2 3/4" D shackles, and a 30' 7/8" rope from master Pull as the snatch rope. No tree savers. This way there is stretch in the whole rope system to absorb energy.

Beefy, I'd say those aren't going anywhere.
Nice, better instalation than mine with the same recovery points from lukey's 4x4. I used the original captive nuts and new grade 8 bolts.
well done
