The front of those normally have holes the wrong spacing to use any factory mounting options - which means some custom bracketry and possibly a little welding. Rick will be able to help, or I can also mount hooks on the front of those for you.
In terms of using the current tloops, they are designed for little more than light towing and anchoring the vehicle during transport. I would not recommend using them for any recovery activity at all.

Recovery hooks, lights, aerial mounts all in one:
The main bulk of it protrudes no further than the chassis rails.

I used a bit of 10mm plate to mount the hook on. Was about 200mm wide. One side bolts to factory lopp mounts the other side has the hook on.
cheers,
