I'd attach a pair of Brothers using the central ring to attach the strop/winch connection.
That way nothing can slip along in a lateral direction.
Or as you say, two strops joined in the middle with a shackle, to which the winch would be attached.

I always used to worry about that at my MOT testers until, they moved the lift!Did you lift the lift to much and bump your ceiling?.

I have towed on tarmac with the "tie down" with no issues.
People mistake towing effort, and Recovery effort.
Agree 2 would be better for sure. Also the longer they are the less the angle and the less reduction of working limit.
But if @styleruk has ordered Jate rings hes covered

jate rings are also not a recovery point, they are just the military tie down point as @miktdish has stated.+1 on that. Recovery is a long way away from what a tie-down point can take. Even a tow ball can become detached and fly hard and a long way.
Don't risk anything like that.
Jate rings are the way to go.
However I do agree with belwo, they are more capable of an on road recovery or tow.
I reckon if you use the two points then most recovery would be fine.
By the sounds of it the OP doesn't intend on getting stuck in a ditch, then I don't either.

Pretty sure they are for recovery too, there are provisions on non military vehicles like a Discovery 1. Which would never need to be tied down in the same manner. They are also a part available from your local LR dealer. Military only components would likely not have been available to the general public.

Haven’t you got yourself in enough trouble by thinking out loud!?
Yes, you’re absolutely right, two strops would be better than one, although the load on one would be well within capability. Two would also be better because you have a failsafe should one strop/ring etc fail.

Lol, nope, it's tight but better than rolling around on the floorDid you lift the lift to much and bump your ceiling?

You won't need Brothers unless you are in the recovery business, or shouldn't.This is the kind of thread that costs me money. I’m now shopping for jate rings and “brothers”
Looks good!
