how good? i dunno... but ask a jeep guy, they would have the best experience with those. Most have something very much like that on their Wrangler's front bumper. which is why the holes are set to that specific distance and dia...

Ask me how I know

oh, i'm sure we can take a pretty good guess.


everything is good 'til it breaks.

personally, i think it looks kinda skimpy-especially right @ the bolt area. plus, there's no weight rating on it.

weight rating is 5 ton.

should be fine so long as you equalize the load across both perfectly
AND
pull straight
AND
they are mounted securely to your frame
AND
i would suggest a backing plate
AND
they fit your mounting holes
AND
you use some good mounting hardware.

problem will be the fit though...
grab a set from a parts store and test fit vs current hook

Summit FTW!
also the 3 hole sounds promising if the extra hole fits our gapped out hook style
