Any suggestions for aftermarket front recovery points? (I will continue to use stock bumper)

Front tow hooks are more than sufficient and very strong.

Otherwise you are looking at something mounted underneath and the lower valance will likely interfere.

I would try and find some OEM tow hooks and install them as any aftermarket will likely be part of an after market bumper

Many thanks/ agree on strength / just wanted something that sticks out more

He has a 4th gen id assume because its in the 4th gen section but also they are not safe to use as a recovery point they have very low weight rating
Didn't notice 4th gen thanks, he also said use bumper....I'd take this over that as recovery point any day lol.

Before I replaced the bumper on my 4th gen, I'd installed some replacement tow hooks similar to these, as the prior owner had replaced OEM hooks with a LED bar that took up the whole lower opening:

This is what i am looking for; something that sticks out further than the stock recovery points - thank you!
