They're going to put a lot of stress on a single point of the chassis, during a difficult recovery.Quote:

What sort of recovery are you guys doing? A simple tow out or winch or are you attempting to snatch with them?
No recovery as yet. Just chewing the fat on the possible recovery points to buy and fit.
Have you got the ARB bar that has the recovery points on the front?

I wouldn't recover with them Simon. I had a tilt tray driver bend mine, loading on flat groung. Easily fixed with a small hammer. [bigsad]

Mind you, I've never put the winch on the point like that pictured.
The point will assume the angle of pull, fine as long as that angle remains low.
