Hi DnP;
After much research settled on the Road Safe front recovery points(RP-RAN02). Others were either non-rated, under-rated, required drilling or were matched to proprietary bull bars. They hang a little low if you are into rock hopping but it means that they are accessible and the tow rope clears the bumper/bull bar. They still sit higher than the following cross member and suspension arms. Fiddly to fit. Critical that bolts and nuts are first screwed on and off a few times using lubricant and kept as matched pairs prior to fitting. To stop nuts turning inside the chassis rail, use a round shafted screwdriver rather than the pins provided.
Superior Engineering and ARB offer a single centre mounted point but more expensive (come with matching replacement bash plate), hard to get at and rated at 4.75T to 5.0T (Roadsafe 5T each). A short permanently attached cable from the centre point to the factory tow point would improve access when required.
Hope this helps.
Cheers, Chrisso
