Errrmm technically yes, butI have heard of peeps having to bend the welded ones outwards to get em to fit.

& if ya can bend em are they gonna be any use for recovering a stuck landy.

i'm sure most of you know already but for those new to offroading and recovery (like me ) who dont know please dont use a standard towball for snatch recovery ...my dumb mate did this and when it snapped it went through the windscreen like a missile .... could have taken someone head off ...

Better still don't do a snatch recovery fullstop..

there really shouldnt be a point when you need to do a snatch, if u cant get it out properly then use a winch

i have 4 jate rings on my truck, the quickest and cheapest way of getting decent recovery points when you dont want to run a bullbar or a plough

cheap jate rings will do for most things

forged D ring or similar
