Personally, I wouldn't trust it. I got my truck stuck in the snow in the the yard one day and had to pull off the rear bumper and I could see it twist and bend and I wasn't stuck very bad. You must remember that the bumper is rated for a weight of a trailer which usually isn't that much, but when you get stuck, if you jerk the truck with a chain or strap it can exert alot of pull that you would never expect. Don't need anyone hurt of killed.
you shouldn't have to drill, there are several holes the hook or shackle will fit into.

All you need is a plate of steel. There is a hole on the bottom side of the frame on each side beneath your bumper mounts. Drill two holes into the plate, bolt on and presto.
i see where the bumper mounts to the frame and beside those two blots ,thats still the bumper theres angle steel , thinking of drilling there and thats where the end of the bumper blots to the frame

^True. Run a long piece of square tubing to both sides of the frame below the bumper. Weld a mount onto the middle of the tubing piece for the hook.
I was gonna say this earlier, but I dont know how strong it would actaully be.

I would just put it on the end of a strap and then hook it on the frame when you need it. Like Taylor said theres multiple holes to use, thats what the tow truck drivers use to pull trucks up on the flat-beds so I'm sure it will work for light stucks.
thats what i was thinking
