Quick towbar question

Where should I put the mounts for my HF towbar. I was thinking just inside of the framerails and I will end up putting my recovery points just outside of the framerails so I can brace them down the frame for strength.




And yes today I am hopefully going to work on Chia some, might even pull him out into the street just for some fun.

 

Yeah it is. I was wondering if further apart= better. It would make sense that that would be true.


Edit:

would it be ok to go a few inches outside of the framerails on the bumper? or will I bend the bumper doing that?

 

I was always taught as close to the framerails as possible.

 

Good thread on this a couple of weeks ago:

Too late. Mine went just outside of the framerails. Not a problem though because I was planing on bracing the bumper back to the frame there soon.

 

It must have been while I was at the beach because I don't remember. Sorry Sparky.

 

Here is some pics of how I did mine
