Greetings -
I'm looking to replace my front bumper for offroading and am curious if anyone knows of any alternative front recovery points for a non-static recovery other than the factory tow hooks on the stock bumper?
I'm looking and torn between the ADD Stealth Winch bumper https://www.addictivedesertdesigns.com/dodge-ram-bumper-F502932450103/
or the AEV front bumper https://www.aev-conversions.com/product/ram-1500-front-bumper/#auxiliary-bumper-lighting
The ADD appears to have the better approach angle, but no recovery points for a snatch recovery which was confirmed by the company. It will have a winch, but that isn't often times the fastest or most efficient recovery method. Is there another locations on the front of the body/frame that is rated for recovery from the manufacturer?
The AEV has two featured recovery points for snatch/static recovery, but will not overly benefit the approach angle for the vehicle.
Curious anyone's experiences, insight or thoughts.
