Not stupid at all … but they sit a bit low, especially on lowered cars. You'd likely hit curbs with them if driving aggressively
A better solution I think is to weld on a couple big ass U bolts to the rear frame rails on either side of the spare tire well. I think we're going to do that as getting the hooks in is a huge PITA. For now, we install the hooks and straps in place, the tie the ends to the wing before we load so they are already to go to strap on when car is loaded. We load using a winch, so they stay in place (usually).
