I just finished re-installing my FX4 factory tow hooks today. After installing a body lift my hooks would not fit unless I trimmed the plastic part of the bumper. I have seen it done before but wasnt excited about doing that. There for I did some modification an was able to put them back on with the factory look. Have some picts for anyone intersted. Let me know what you think.

that looks great! Nice lookin truck ya got there too!

 

sweet, but idk if i would trust them.

 

nice man. did your arc weld them in?

 

^^^^ yes I did use an arc welder.

 

Im not planning on using them unless I have to. They might work in a simple situation but Ide never use then if I was realy stuck.

 

You have a real nice truck. Looks good.

 

ya i wouldnt trust those at all. My father who is a master fabricator has modified 2 sets of level II hooks now that i would bet my *** that could be used for a tow point but those you made up idk the strenth really is there...we did it different and has to more secure points then stock even...

 

I've never had to use mine really heavily. just once for a little tug. If i ever need to pulled out big time I use the hitch.

 

Very nice looks good, nice truck btw

 

looks good man. definatly not as strong but still looks nice.

your truck is pretty clean!
