What do you use for a tow strap for the front tow loops? Does anyone make a Y-Strap so you can pull on both front loops rather than just one? Are you using shackles to attach straps to the front loops? If so, what size or rating? Hopefully I never need to get pulled out, but I’d rather be prepared with the right equipment.

Y-Strap/Shackles for front tow strap
single pull isnt a problem depending on weight.
The hooks should be at least 10k rated, if not higher.
If you want to pull from both, get 2 10k straps and a shackle rated to at least 20k working. Those are minimum numbers IMO.
If I was buying stuff to keep with me, I would buy a single 20k strap and a few 20k shackles. I wouldnt be concerned about pulling only on one hook. Again if you want to pull on both hooks, use 2 straps, dont try to use 1 strap. Maybe there is something designed as a y type that would work, but I havent seen anything personally. A y arrangement would only work when pulling straight on, which NEVER happens when you need to get pulled out of somewhere.

Below is a weblink for what I purchased to attach my tow rope to the front tow hoops.

Was not going to use metal shackles that would destroy the black paint on the tow hoops.
I always just attach to one tow hook ... never seen a y-strap ... but I am sure they probably exist.
