1 1/2"front tow bar hook ups?

Before I bought my runner It was lucky enought to find most of its time behind a motorhome (its a 97 with 93,000mi has a tow bar hook up welded to the front of the frame and a trailer adapter wired into the engine compartment).

The tow bar mounts are welded on and look to be about 1 1/2". Does anyone know of a trailer type hook I can add to these like the ones you can mount in the rear? And be able to place shackles on and also a bumper that will clear them keeping them usefull? Their welded on the outsides and under the frame, so I planed on beafing up the small tack welds a little and dont feel like grinding and cutting.... Or is it a lost cause and just cut them off and put on a bumper with tow points?

Thanks

here are the pics the close up is the right side if looking at the front or left side if sitting in it. ITs got 2 bolts holding it on as well as welds around. Once again thank you all for your help.

(scroll down a bit)

Looks like you need to clean up and paint those areas as well.
