Yes, install is very simple in my opinion. Takes 1-2 hours at the most. Just make sure you get all the hardware. There is a special nut that has an arm on it so you can place it inside the frame. You will need that. I have seen a lot of used kits on eBay that do not have all the needed nuts and bolts.

Silver Dodge, That is a real good price on the Mopar tow hook kit. The dealers usually charge $180 for the kit.

JNelly

I do have a set. But I only provide the brackets. You'll need to get the hardware and tow hooks. You actually use the six bolts that mount the bumper, you just need another 4-6 for the bolts on the cross member.

I also made the brackets so they can be used with any brand of tow hooks. You just have to drill the holes. What most people do is buy my bracket and then go to the Chevy dealer and buy the chevy tow hooks, I guess the chevy dealers sell them for $20 or so.
or you can Ebay some hooks or even go to Tractor supply

thinkin about a front hitch install.... ya know how when you put a rollpan on .. you can still install a hitch reciever behind the liscence plate and have the plate fold down so its nice and tucked out of the way and still looks clean!!!! for us here in NY we have to have plates/tags on both front and back of the vehicle..i have that plastice braket that comes from mopar to install the front liscence plate..i wouldnt be affraid to hack a hole behind it and make that a flip down and a hitch hiding behind it... thers another thing to add on the damn list of things i wanna do!!!!! a front hitch AND tow hooks ( i got them too) would be AWESOMe to pull ANYTHING out of a hole!!!
