front receiver

finally got my draw-tite front receiver in...huge pita. its rated for 9000 lb towing...anyone ever have any trouble with these when pulling/winching? Its really beefy, so i cant imagine it not being reliable. also, anybody know where the 2" insert with the tow hook can be bought? are they even reliable?

sway bar brackets took awhile to drop...new hole in the frame to get on the broken weld nut, which is round and had to be split off

The hook you might be interested in is one from Harbor Freight. I have one, it is welded, but has seen some abuse pulling stuck vehicles out of deep snow.
