yeah i've been wanting tow hooks for my 2001.. suprised they didnt come with any.. but if i do invest in some i'd get the chrome ones for looks (dont plan on using them for much )

 

Of course you'll use them, unless you never "wheel" with Chevys . lol..

 

You didnt really look hard a all, people sell the mopar tow hooks and brackets on ebay quite a bit. Those brackets above are pretty close to the ones that dodge sells with their trucks. And actually those are pictures of the ones I make and sell. Have fun making them its a pain. I made a set and then I just bought a set of mopar hooks and brackets and brought them into work so they could cut them out on the laser and bend them.

 

i'd just weld the bracket to the frame and your done.

 

it gives me shivers every time i hear that..... wending stuff to your frame that has reverses in stress (dynamic load) is not recomended..1 you get a nice week spot (heat afected zone) 2 if its bolted with grade 5 bolts it gives the stress somewhere to go it will flex the bolts a bit (you wond see it but its there) rather then putting all that stress into your frame

 

Lol sorry about that. I just do not have many cash to go out and bye dodge tow hooks and finding the Chevy ones in the junk yard and making my own bracket was a lot cheaper. I have more time then $ and all the tools I need. Lol
So a grade 5 bolt is what I should use? Lol and I can agree with you welding to your frame is a bad idea for these

 

yes use grade 5 bolts bot grade a if you want ill explane it better later i goto go to work but comes dowh to 5 will flex where as 8 will shear off

 

A Grade 8 bolt is the minum.

I get the brackets made and sell them for $55 shipped and you can mount any hook you want to them. That would still save you $100 or more

 

Save yourself the time of trying to make them yourself and the money of buying the entire mopar kit (its usually like $150-$200), and just get the brackets thru GODRAMIT....then get the chevy tow hooks and you are ready to rock....u can do the entire thing for under $80 easily, hardware, hooks and all....that's what im doing at least. you save yourself like $100 and alot of headaches.

-note: you cannot get JUST the brackets thru mopar, i checked you must purchase the whole damn kit.
