Has any one mounted a pintle hook on the front of their M1008?

Exactly the info I’m looking for.The CUCV with the hook going through the bumper itself just has a backing plate on it, nothing going to the frame of the truck. It's actually the plate from the outside of a CUCV pickup bumper that has the two carriage bolts. That's behind the bumper upside down and then since the bumper is thin I think there's another spacer because it won't tighten up without it.
It's been on there for 5 or so years and I'm sure it's been used a hundred times. Haven't had any issues with moderately loaded m101 trailers/ tool trailers and it's moved around empty m105s without any problems.
Were you able to keep your front shackles with that install?here is a pic of my front receiver. just flat plate between the bottom frame rails with a tractor supply purchased reciever tube and some additional flat bar. I used 3/8 steel for the plate and flat bar so it is heavy duty. mine is used for my front winch mount. works great and the tube is snug to the bottom of the bumper.
