My 2 cents here. Word of advice on front tow hooks strength. I would keep factory strength. I rather bent a factory tow hook than a front cross member. I bent a Tundra tow hook last year in Moab. @kreiten has a picture of it somewhere here. Since tow hook was strong it also twisted front cross member.
It would be nice to move front tow point higher than factory location.
I think I remember that photo, but didn't know it bent more than your recovery point!
So you are thinking that if the tow hook had failed, your cross member would have been OK?
Did you hit it at a weird angle where the recovery point multiplied the leverage or something?
