    DO NOT go with open tow hooks.
    Open tow hooks will break because you can not pull from any angle other than straight. A closed recovery hook is twice as strong as any open hook.

    That's funny you should bring up pulling a house because I have pulled a house over at Lake Naciamento for a friend. Just wanted to see if the F450 was as strong as I thought. 3 pulls and the entire house came down , that was way funny.
