yeah, they're pretty damn hard to find on ebay...i see them on forums all the time, but the sellers usually want way to much for a used item!

You got a very good deal on them! They ought to bolt right up to your truck just like your black towhooks. You'll have to cut your valence a little bit for them though.

Cool man, I was thinking about getting some, but I like my EDGE hooks better, they hide behind my WAAG bar, I don't want them to stick out.

i was just thinkin make a drop bracket of some kind..i dunno if you would want to pull from it unless it had gussets on it for some extra strength thats the last thing you need is to be hooked up to em and they snap cuz its a tight fit on the bumper it would screw that up too..

they are one piece


but if remember correctly (probably not) the hook was cut off, moved and then reinforced, and could be considered stronger then stock


but knowing the guy that did the work, i wouldnt trust your average welder to do it for you
