    receiver shackle for the rear.

    hook for the front passenger side.

    what about the driver side? is the factory hoop worthy of any pulling? or do I get right & left hooks?

    thanks

    Ideally, you'd have a pair of recovery points on each end to distribute the load to each side of the frame, especially for the heavy pulls.

    That said, what the factory comes with really, are just "tow hooks" or even a tie down hook. A true recovery point will be a lot beefier than what the factory supplies.

    They'll work in a pinch, but if you find your self using them more than a few times, you really should be getting bumpers with integrated (and rated) recovery points.

    Same for the rear, too. The receiver hitch shackle is really good and can totally yank on it, but just like the front, for those heavy pulls, it's better to have a point on each side to pull on.
