PLUS one on what all the above say. The 3.5 ton hitch is just its tow rating, the bolts holding it to chassis will go before it does.[ or rip out.] Similar pins pull some very large farm trailers. I also use the Damar strap.
When the West Wales 4x4 Group started 4x4 trials some 33 years ago our standard front recovery point was a ball hitch on the front bumper with plate behind. One day a fellow came with a military kinetic rope to speed up recovery's
With a well bogged landy hooked up he set off at speed in his open top truck, the rope stretched and then bang the ball ripped out of the bumper [ Bolts not up to the job ] It flew over his head by about three feet and then was heard crashing through the tree tops a hundred yards away never to be seen again.

I have no problem with kinetic recovery done properly with 100% solid tow points ect, The problem is on ordinary days out you just do not know how good other folks fittings are.
