My dad is trying to talk me out of it.

My symptoms include
Milky oil on the dib stick and oil leaking from that part of the block.
Idk what else could be leaking

I just don't see it being a strong tug point. But that's just me.

I totally agree, that's why I was asking first before buying one. I have factory tow hooks but want something better.

My JCR bumper with reinforcements is ****. Otherwise I think IRO makes a super strong tow hook set up.

JCR or Logans bumper is probably the way I'm going to go. Got a birthday next month, maybe I can convince the family to pitch in for one.

I highly recommend the basic bumper from JCR with the unibody reinforcements. Very strong and we'll built.
