Errrmm technically yes, butI have heard of peeps having to bend the welded ones outwards to get em to fit.
& if ya can bend em are they gonna be any use for recovering a stuck landy.

i'm sure most of you know already but for those new to offroading and recovery (like me ) who dont know please dont use a standard towball for snatch recovery ...my dumb mate did this and when it snapped it went through the windscreen like a missile .... could have taken someone head off ...

there really shouldnt be a point when you need to do a snatch, if u cant get it out properly then use a winch
