The best recovery points that I have seen (still haven't gotten them on my series truck as my whole front bumper is a recoverypoint) is a thick metal plate welded to the face of the bumper at the horns then a large hole is drilled in it to allow a shackle to be attached. The shackle allows for a lot of diferent angles without binding. If anyone has been off-roading with the Nova Scotia club you probably have seen these. However since the plate is usually 1/4" thick you would need a welder capable of welding that thick of metal (usually only commercial units). Assuming though that you are running a rangie or a disco so that might look a little weird on the front of your truck, however they do look good on the flat series and defenders. Will try to find a photo of one of those.
