hey guys.. i was thinkin, i need somewhere on the front to pull from... i know that some of the rams came stock with front hooks... i wants to get some hooks of my won and mount in th same place, which is why i ask all you guys with the offroad model( i think thats what has them) where are they mounted and how... pics would be great

 

You can order them from Mopar. About $130 I Or you can get some better ones and and build them in better.

 

here you go. these came stock on the off-road edition, and were an option for all others. i bought a used set on ebay a few years ago for about $70. i don't see them listed used very often. the wrap-around-the-frame brackets are sort of unique, but you could make them if you put your mind to it.

If you have decent fab skills, use some better hooks, or rings. My neighbor was trying to get yanked off of a fallen tree after a wind storm a few years ago. The hook snapped near the end of the radius, and it went flying off somewhere. Could just be a fluke, but just a thought. There are a ton of options out there that can be built in very easily for a lot less $$$.

 

like i said, i am getting better ones... but i need to know where they attach... where they mount is what im after... i have snapped off a few sets of stock truck tow hooks... so i need to get better...

 

The frame.

 

what... the bracket, then the hooks? that seems weak...

 

What do you think the bracket is for? Thats why I said design something better, then build it. Box the end of the frame in while you are at it.

 

i think i may just drop the hooks, get a front mount hitch, but i have heard thy are only rated for 9k line pull...

 

Build one that's stronger.
