Tow hook mount

Does anybody know if the front sway bar mounts are strong enough for tow/recovery hooks? Thank you for your time

I think they would be strong enough, but i think i would like bigger bolts to attach them. Does it have a sway bar on it?

It did have a sway bar but when I got it it did not, and yes they are the open hook with two bolts I would get a receiver but I was wondering if this would work instead
