I have a dealer on ebay who makes the recommended tow solution that works for all of us. He will make the double length v bridle shown below at no extra cost if you just call him and let him know.
Thanks for posting, I think I will order one of these [I do wonder why they did not fasten the straps to at the top. If one slips out you will be in a little trouble. But still looks like the best solution for me!]

The blue circles mark the V bridle front and rear Tee hook points
When I bought them from Zl1addons, they had 2 hooks, one with a longer shaft for the front, and 1 with a shorter shaft for the rear, and they came as a set, so I bought the set. Just that simple.
Why does everyone need to be a friggin know-it-all, assume everyone else is an idiot and be aggressive on this site?
Don't get all uptight! Asked the question as following your "2 hooks" is post showing a sling with "2 hooks?"
My September 2013 built Z51 does not have hook receptacles but my planned GS will. Just wondering if I was missing something.
I assumed there were good reasons for both. There are and they are completely different reasons!
Got to be careful with that, you can only tow from a point that is very low with that, otherwise you will be rubbing the front pieces. For instance the winch on my trailer is too tall to use that type of tow strap. With the other tow hook you can tow from almost any angle.

I agree. I have another thread where I describe how tow drivers typically employ a 4X4 over the bridle and under a support piece and also use a small ramp at the edge of a flatbed setup to avoid any contact. They typically only want to load with the C7 going forward facing.
For those who have receivers as I do the other setup should function well. Someone wanted to know why two would be preferred. Track folks like to remove a vehicle quickly and not having to mount or move tow hooks can speed up the process.

And, this is not a correct solution for the track.
I'm not into racing, and I hope never to have to use the tow hook, so I just ordered the stock GM #15234068 hook from YourChevyPartsPrime.com. Their cost is $78.41 compared to $116 that GM charges.

I am assuming that all C7 GS's come with receivers? Also for your application, professional tow drivers recommend front loading only whenever possible so many carry a short pretruck ramp to avoid front end scrapes..
FWIW, I bought a made in USA quality tow hook from ZL1 Addons for $89. Great to support a US manufturer. Need to goggle their name to find them. It has a tapered steel section so it fits the front location without rubbing on the grill. Also fits the rear in cars with receivers.
