Thats what I have, the install was very straight forward.

I was under there today, the hardware and clips are completely rusted, the hooks and brackets are powder-coated and still looks fine along with the carriage bolts.

They tie into the unibody nicely and should be very sturdy for what ever...

In retrospect, I wouldn't have put the clips on anyway.

do the tow hooks have to have a bracket in order to attach them? would i be able to attach them without the bracket?

nope, you need a bracket.

good deal tho, grab em up. you'd be surprised just how tough those brackets are.

glad to see someone is doing it right.

i just found a tow hook bracket that mounts d-rings instead of hooks..... what do you think of these? any suggestions on which one to get, d-rings better than hooks?

any ideas for rear tow points instead of getting a new bumper or hitch?

thanks for the help!!!

well with D-rings you dont have to watch the strap to make sure it doesnt fall off the hooks

yes, d-rings are more desirable. as long as they will fit a 3/4 inch pin.
