DANG! i dont think i've ever seen that style rear hook!! It must be for/off a 05+ Fx4L2. It matches the styling of the front hooks on those trucks.

You need to buy that... fx4 'knuckle' style one. I've been eyeing that ad for a while now.

Sorry but you're wrong on that one.
My 2006 Level 2 had a J hook in the back.
