Yes, but you will need to make new mounts or cut the valance.

body lift = elimination of stock towhooks OR cutting of valence OR making new bracketry and make the hooks work with the bodylift. Putting Fx4 Knuckle style hooks required triming of the valence even in stock form.

they are stainless not chrome.

why do people prefer them? because they are a J design meaning you can slip on a strap with out "tieing" it to the hook it will accept it.

i like my tow hooks on my FX4 ;]

makes it way easy to hook up a strap or a tow hook.

The hardest part i find is finding the recovery point on the other vehicle.
