Where to Put Front Tow Hooks

When I bought my 2000 Jeep TJ, I had the dealer install a Mopar brush gaurd. This brush gaurd bolts through the bumper and onto the frame at the same place where my tow hooks used to be. Is there somewhere else I could mount the tow hooks on the front (without attaching them in a place that would rip my bumper off/apart should I put them to use)? Should I try to find longer bolts and mount the tow hooks and the brush gaurd through the same holes? I'm not ready to get a new bumper quite yet.

Use longer Grade 5 or Grade 8 bolts (NO PLAIN BOLTS!!!) and mount them in the same location, underneath the Mopar brush guard.

I wouldn't even mess with grade 5 -- just buy grade 8. Only a few cents more (if that) than grade 5. Go to a parts store and you can even get black ones to match the paint for less than $1.
