Is this the rear 4 bolt one that goes in place of the factory one? Did it come with new bolts?

The original bolts need to be replaced with longer ones due to the fact you are more than doubling the thickness of the plate. Simple really.

Shite no, my original bolts are plenty long enough, once its thru the nut and a few more turns is plenty, you don't benefit from having a bolt that goes thru the nut by miles as long as it takes up all of the thread and a few more turns thats plenty, maybe you have a different model but i'am very confident with the length of the bolts in mine,

So with that bracket does it become a suitable point to attach a snatch strap to?

I used the old hoop plenty of times and I mean plenty, so this can only be a shite load better

I've got one as well, but still wouldn't use it in anger, not because I don't trust the hoop......... I wouldn't trust the bolts not stripping.... but that's just me.

I've got the hitch receiver with shackle to snatch from

These were originally made for Winch challenge trucks and
either side of winch on the bull bar of Landrovers, I've used them
as the recovery truck at a few Cruiserkhanas as well.
