ok so i get bored when im at work and i started lookin at d-rings again, but i cant remember and i cant find a picture i need, so im askin can someone go take a picture oif their truck foir me really fast. need a ground up kinda shot of whats behind the rear bumper. lookin for a spot to mount d-rings. i dont like the look of a hitch and they cost like 150-200. i can get d-rings for 20 bucks if i can find a spot to mount them. thanks ahead of time.

im lookin for a spot to mount the D-rings so they are kinda hidden, but hang down so you can still use them without bendin the bumper up. and i know the frame is a C frame and that will work if i get a mount for it, but if there is just a straight, flat cross-member or something that would be nice

Can't figger out how to get my camera into macro mode..... but, looking at the bumper, brackets, etc, I think the frame rails are about your only choice. Probably have to fab up brackets. Pretty much the same thing folks do for the tow hook mod.

Yeah ud need to make brackets or ud hit the bumper. I was thinking about doing the same thing but i figured tow hooks would be easier in the front because i could cut a hole through that plastic piece.

Does anyone know what thats called?

Ryan i have been looking at the underside of my truck for a awhile trying to figure how to mount tow hooks and you will have to make some sort of bracket for the d-rings because the awesome engineers from dodge made a frame that has no possible support on the frame to mount off of were you wont be hitting the front bumper

Barry the bottom plastic piece is called an air dam

Thanks redhead. But to put hooks or D- rings in the front or back of the truck is a difficult task unless you have some sort of bracket. Theres no way to do it without cutting a hole or damaging something
