Default Winching car on trailer

Since you can't hook the cable to the center of the front axle without damaging the apron, where do you make connections on the front of the car to winch it onto a flat bed trailer straight? Any feedback or pictures are appreciated.

This picture was posted recently. Stay close to the spring perches.

The posted pic is the correct way to do it. You make a bridle as shown to each perch. Never winch any vehicle from the center of a straight axle, you will bend it for sure.
