Default Tow Hooks and 2wd 96

Ok heres the deal been wanting to add tow hooks to my truck, was just gonna buy the mopar ones.....but I think I found a problem with them.

Looking at dsertdog's write up (found it somewhere amongst forums) his lower rad support is different then mine. He has bolt holes in his and is alot bigger than mine.

Mine has no holes at all and there isnt much room, maybe 2"(I took a quick look at it earlier).

Anybody put them on a 2wd drive you run into any problems, any older trucks have problems, I will try and get pics tomarrow so yall can see exactly what Im talking about.

Also can someone who has tow hooks installed take some pictures of how there mounted and maybe even some measurements. The ones dsertdog had are a tad blurry making it hard to get a good judgement on.
