:bowtie:
IT MAKES A WHOLE LOT MORE SENCE TO ME THAN SPENDING $200 ON A SET THAT YOU ARE AFRAID TO SCRATCH WITH A CHAIN, OR SOMEONE MIGHT STEAL THEM. :D :D JOHN

PO put a set of these on my truck. Drilled out one rivet that holds the front spring hanger to the frame, put a grade 8 bolt through this hole and through the rear hole of the tow hooks, match drilled the front hole of the tow hooks through the frame, and slipped in a spacer to compensate for the thickness of the spring hanger. Works good with the spring clips like you have to keep the tow rope in place.

Those work great - I've had 'em (in black) front & rear for a long time...

I've put as much strain on them as my truck is capable of, mostly pulling logs out of the woods, with fat tires in 4-low and weight in the bed, and never bent one. They are tougher than they look. ;)

I just grabbed a set myself, they actually looked pretty good and I was out the door for less than $20.

Give them a call, that is the # on the sticker on the shelf and on my receipt. For some reason they were called "Tow Hook 16 piece" in their computer system at my local store.

Our local Wal-Mart sells though.

special-K 12-26-2004 02:12 PM

Man,you can find them anywhere they sell bread.Well almost.Tractor suppliers,truck equipt,4x4 shops.I broke a chain(lumber pkg tie-down)ang curled the frame tip with thse before I discovered Snatch`um Straps.I`ve also seen one fly when std bolts sheered.Can`t hurt`em.

I have that exact pair on my fish house so I can pull it around the lake. They have been there at least 10 years.
