Using front tow hooks
I am looking for advice or ideas on attachment of recovery gear to front tow hooks. I have fitted Uneek tow hooks which are not rated for recovery although they are obviously quite strong, I would like to spread the load between both if I needed to be pulled out of a sticky situation. I was thinking of attaching a short rope/ cable/ chain each side and join with a heavy shackle, then use one snatch strap to the tow vehicle. Looking at snatch straps and tree protectors etc they say don't join two together with shackles, and steel cables are not recommended for recovery operations. Does it mean I have to rely on one hook or use two snatch straps,ie, one on each hook?
