Default d ring mount plate

I just recently got some d ring mounts welded to some plates to be used instead of the stock tow hooks for my stock front bumpber without the plastic cover on. I'm gonna have a machine shop drill out the holes 4 me. Anyone know what the bolt pattern dimensions are on the stock tow hooks?

I really don't want 2 take them off and put them back on. Thanks 4 any assistance

Your front bumper is already removed? Why not just take the 4 bolts of the tow hook and measure them? It's only 4 bolts, would only take 15min tops. Make sure those D ring mounts are welded good. Usually those are run through a plate and welded front and rear on the plate or into the bumper. You wouldn't believe the force you put on those mounts when getting yanked out of deep mud, and if that weld breaks that shackle mount will do some serious damage to the tow vehicle or kill a person. When it comes to tow points there's no such thing as too strong. My rear ones are welded to the frame mounts then triple passed front and rear to the bumper.
