Front tow hooks body lift problem

[farley610]

So in just got my truck back tonight from getting a PA 3inch body lift installed. I looks great, the only problem is I now have no tow hooks up front bc of the stock bumper lift. Is there a way to bolt this anywhere else??

My 99 has a 3"BL an tow hooks stick out just below the valance.

kinda see where the are in the pic

hope it helps

thanks ill have to see if i can do the same, the factory hooks are more like loops, not hooks, ill see i can bolt that type on.

are those stock, or did you have to drill new holes? your truck looks sweet by the lake.

Honestly I'm not sure as I bought the truck exactly like it is in the pic.

I do know that I can buy hooks exactly like them at a local store though. Acctually probly will the ones at the store. That way I will get the strap keepers as well.

Tomorrow I'll crawl under an see if I cant find a bur or some sign of the previous owner drilling the holes. Gotta hunch that he just added the lil spacer block though.

thanks. To bad I couldnt enjoy the lake that day.

thanks man

I looked. but it was hard to tell as there were washers on both ends. Pretty much all they did was drill through the frame an run a bolt through the top of the frame an out the bottom

where do you think i can get some of those spacers/the material to make them?

 

[mud_bogger]

The spacers are just a block of steel. Probly find what you would need at any steel/scrap yard.

could you repost a picture of your tow hooks. I'm installing a 3"body lift this weekend and want to know going in what I'll need to do. It will be greatly appreciated, thank you.
