While this would be convenient (using those holes), the problem is they end 
 right at the beam mounts. You'd have to add some sort of extension inward 
to get  to the beam itself, and then you have to watch the clearance for the 
pitman arm,  since it sticks out on the front side of the beam there. I ran 
into that issue  with my first "plate" design (for using a standard bug tow 
bar). That one got a  cut corner there just for clearance. Just something 
to think about.
