Which revocvery hooks am I supposed to us on the front Factory A-Bar?? I know you are supposed to use the points at the bottom of the bar, but with so many hooks out there its hard to tell.

If you were forced to use the loops on the factory A-bar in a recovery situation I would use shackles, never hooks.

Don't use those for any serious pulling, and keep the bolts holding the brush guard to the frame torqued up.

I ran some numbers for this load case a while back. They should be available by searching.
