D ring shackles usually include a mounting strap with two holes. Can’t you just bolt it to the bottom of the frame rail behind your bumper? They will be tucked up quite a bit, but very secure.

i want to mount them to the bumper using the typical 4 bolt mount from the jungle web store.

I didnt consider that but i kind of like the idea. I want to keep the look but functional too.

Easiest is to fab up a plate steel bracket from frame to backside of bumper essentially sadwiching the bumper inbetween
