Default Shackles instead of stock tow hooks?

So I have no recovery points on the jeep and would like to add some and keep it simple. However I would rather have shackles then hooks. Has anybody seen or built a setup where they use shackle possibly utilizing the stock tow hook location. I can probably come up with something but would like to see if anybody has seen anything or has any ideas.

there used to be a company called Hi-Country that made some awesome ones, but they went out of business. Now the only place to find them is used, and they're hard to find.

So your solution is to get a tow hook setup, and install these instead of the hooks

Its a shame Hi Country went under. Hopefully another company will start making a similar product because there seems to be a very high demand for them. I bought the kit a few weeks before they closed and I love them, great quality and functionality.

The only issue I have with them, which can't really be fixed, is people love stealing my d-rings. Guess people will steal anything these days.
