Recovery /snatch straps 101...to use Billy's words....

Yah, the left side only uses 1 bolt and a 'finger' to grab another hole (but it is a fairly beefy bracket). IIRC the right side uses 2 bolts.

If you want something beefier, I could get Welder Guy to fab up an extra left side hitch/frame plate & you can modify that to make a stronger shackle mount.

I found the one that I pulled from Ash's VX. I'll try to snap a pic of it this weekend.

I did bend mine all to hell at some point, but it was on rocks, I just hammered it back into place. I had two hooks on the front of mine for awhile, but rocks got those as well and busted the welded nuts from the frame rail, no more tow hooks for me I don't need no stinkin front tow hooks anyway, I am not going to pull someone out in reverse, I would imagine the tranny would not like that much

I have no response to that.
