Not sure if that was serious or sarcastic.
Just to be clear, I was not meaning they seemed useless since they were not like a Jeep. I was only wondering if people hooked clevises directly to them, or maybe used short straps looped around them.
So, it seems the common method is using a clevis/D-ring directly to the ring.

I like to use my rear hitch instead of the recovery rings, especially when pulling someone or something. Put a d-ring through the hole where the hitch ball normally goes. This puts a more even load on the Hummer frame than pulling from a recovery ring which is off center.

I have done this with my trucks in the past, and it does seem to work quite well.
I was thinking of getting a short strap that I could hook one end to each recovery ring. Then hook onto the strap with a clevis. Then the pull force would be split between the two rings. If the pull was off to an angle, then the clevis would just slide on the short strap, still keeping the load on both rings.
