Default Tow Hook Help!

I just purchased tow hook brackets and hooks but it did not come with hardware. Can somebody please help me and tell me the bolts I will need to mount them?

I just had the same problem, you reuse the bumper bracket bolts.

Reuse the bolts for the factory bumper mounting. Then for the rear support, use a 3" and a 3.5" Carrier bolt and matching nut/washer. 3" IIRC will be used on the driver side in order to clear the steering box. Longer one needed on pass side. At least for me.

Hello, seems like I am in the same spot as you guys on this. I bought a set of factory tow hooks for a 98 Cherokee sport. I did not know that they do not come with the mounting brackets and hardware. If you guys have any information on where I can get the brackets and hardware I would greatly appreciate it. Also I got a rear tow hook as well. I am assuming I'm gonna need a bracket and hardware for that as well. I really thought the hooks would just bolt to the frame I did not know it would be this difficult!! Any help on this is welcome. Thanks in advance for everything.

I used trailer hitch bolts on mine and welded the lower bracket in the frame, works perfect I have pulled out some heavy trees and some big chevy out of some mud
