mini J-hooks

Anyone have a good source for mini J-hooks to use for vehicle recovery? I'm tired of having to pull friends cars out of snow drifts and ditches and not having any good places to attach to when there are perfectly good frame holes from the manufacturers. Only problem is a winch hook doesn't fit, and neither do any of the chain hooks that i can find. I've found mini J-hooks online, but most of them look suspect quality at best.....

Northern Tools sells a set of three hooks that has the J hook (import), Chevy hook, and Ford hook, all on one ring. For some reason the combo does not show up on their website whena using "towing hook" for the search. You can buy the J hook separate too.

Like everything, the cheaper the cost, the less weight the hook can handle.

If you need heavier duty stuff, try AW Direct.

what about the beefy bolt on hoops found on superdutys? can it be a closed loop or are you strictly looking for open hook design?
