MOPAR Tow Hooks

These tow hooks are costly but very strong. Each hook can hold 5500lbs. That's more than the rating on the 2" tow ball.   
The kit contains most hardware, 2 hooks and cross-member.

The whole unit connects to each frame rail and front cross-member on both sides. Its quite a sturdy setup.
It also replaces the bumper mounts. Installation can be time consuming. After removing the bumper the existing bumper mounts need to be removed. There are 3 bolts per bumper bracket. The bolts are pressed in just like the bolts on the spindle for the rims/drums to mount to. The space is very minimal and makes things complicated. Ingenuity comes into play here with a BIG HAMMER,  punch and shims. The shims are needed to wedge behind the bracket to minimize flex to get a good SMASH of the BIG HAMMER. One good hit and the bolt will pop in a jif. Otherwise it will take time.
