You should have some captive nuts that are in front of the spring hanger. The two that are there (on each side) are the correct spacing for the rated aftermarket hooks. You might find that your bullbar bolts to the same captive nuts though.

50mm Right angle bolted to the bolts on underside of chassis, and hooks bolted to that, if you want your hooks right way up?

just don't use the bolts that come with the hook as they are standard thread and the factory holes are metric fine thread.
There are 3 holes on each side you can use so its nice to use all 3 on each side (total of 6 ) with a frame between them and a hook mounted in the middle to spead the load.

Yes bullbars bolt on there.not that keen to mount off captive nuts.
