tow hook wondering

i have a bull bar for the front end of my truck and i had to remove the factor tow hooks. would it be a bad idea to relocate them to the back of the truck attached to the frame? any input is helpful.

fudge that bull bar! My cousin put one on his chevy and we had to remove the tow hooks, that weekend it snowed and he got stuck out in the woods with me, i couldnt get to the rear of his truck to pull him out so i had to pull from the front, only thing there was the brand new bull bar. Ended up ripping the bar off, denting in his chrome bumper, and hurting his wallet. the next day he took the brackets off and the tow hooks went back on
