Never Use the Tow Ball for Recovery! Because the tow ball is installed on a tongue, the bolt is a single sheer bolt installation and is likely to break when used in a recovery situation and turn the tow ball into a flying missile projectile.

Where are my recovery points?

Ignoring the other recovery point/s: Every vehicle should have two recovery points found at the front and rear. Using an equaliser strap between the two points through a winch or snatch strap will distribute the force on the chassis.
