I want to tow my M416 with my TJ Unlimited using my Currie rear bumper:

This bumper was obviously never designed to be used to tow a trailer, and there are no safety chain attachments. However, I know there are many people who have safely towed a M416, or similar, trailer with this bumper.
What are the options for adding safety chain attachments to the bumper or even under the bumper on the frame (which on a TJ, is a fairly thin rear crossmember).
Obviously I could weld a number of attachments on the face of the bumper.
I could also drill two large holes in the bumper and just add a quick link. But I'm trying to think of options where I don't have to drill/weld to the bumper.
What about eye bolts? I could easily replace two of the bumper mounting bolts with large eye bolts, but what size?
Other options?
