Better front recovery option...	Permalink

I need a front recovery point. Which would be better? Drawtite front receiver? C 4X4 tow hooks? What are the advantages/disadvantages of both? __________________ 2001 Cherokee Sport -- 40k -- 4x4 -- 4.0 HO -- AW4 -- D30 -- 8.25 -- OME 930 coils -- Rusty's full length 2" AAL -- Sensatracs -- 30x9.5 on Jeep Grizzlys -- Homebrew Safari Rack My Pics and Specs

I vote for the draw-tite. It mounts better than the tow hooks do, and it also goes from frame-rail to frame-rail, thus stiffing the front uni-body. With the draw-tite you also get the extra protection if your offroading (cheap skid somewhat).

They both are about the same for clearance issues. The draw-tite sits up higher than the Hidden Hitch does. www.etrailer.com has the best prices on the draw-tite.

Just my

worth...

I have a Draw-tite for mine, like Adam said hitch is better cause they tie the frame rails together. Beside i like the idea of having a winch plate and being to move it to the front or the rear of my XJ. Hitch isnt much more then hooks, and hooks do bend. __________________ If guns kill people, then I can blame misspelled words on my pencil" - Larry The Cable Guy GIT-R-DONE My Pics and Specs
