Once I do my SAS, and still have a stock bumper, where/how do I mount my tow hook? Attaching it to the spring hanger doesn't seem right...

I have a hitch reciever in the middle of my SAS hanger, with a D-ring hanging from it.

I'm hip to that, but I got my hanger from Marlin (just got it a minute ago, YAY!) and I dont' want to cut it up.

With it being welded to the hanger instead of the frame do you worry about ripping the hanger off?
I use shackles every day in my job as a sound guy, hanging those big speaker arrays. Did you know that a 3/4 " shackle is rated for 10,000 pounds with a safety ratio of 4 to 1? That means it will handle 40,000 pounds before it breaks.
Dat's a lot of weight.

well i have used mine a few times and honestly im no scared of it ripping off my hanger or anything at all.
i used 3/8 thick steel plating square tube to make my front drop hanger and ive had to winch a few guys up some walls and no issues yet.
