This is for the Westin Ultimate Bull Bar. Are you absolutely sure about what you have?

here is a link to the pics of my truck with it installed. It is the westin ultimate bull bar. And mine came with the two different brackets like i said. I bought mine this summer and it could have been changed since then but I doubt it.

Your towhooks look unusable in the pictures. Looks like the strap would be pressing against the bull bar if you used them.
But beyond that, the directions he linked to are for a 2500/3500 which has a completely different type of towhook - so he is looking at the wrong directions since he has a 1500.

I am confused. Looking at the Westin web site, here is the installation application chart. It has pictures and states: "NOTE: Factory tow hooks cannot be reinstalled with this application".

You sure are confused, those are the directions for a bull bar that fits 2010 and up 2500/3500, not a 1500

Some Information.
It turns out, jayman84 is correct. I called Westin, they said the bar comes with brackets that let you retain the tow hooks. I told them though that it states in bold on there web site that the tow hooks must be removed. The rep said it was not correct. Another question I have is, what exactly is the purpose of a Bull bar? Is it just for looks or other than the two fog lights you can get for it, does it serve a real purpose for your truck?
