for all those people that don't have tow hooks - Danny at Off Road has expressed and interest in building a factory type replacement.
in the posts above from a long time ago, are God's replacements. that pic had a D-ring instead of a hook.
here's a pic of the factory hook. pic jacked from whiteknuckle.
take a look at the the beautiful work on the bumpers built by Danny Gaston at Off-Road.

DOR does not "build" the bumpers. They are a vendor for them.
You can obtain them direct via ebay.

Any kind of fabbed up tow hook is a benefit. The factory ones work well given that they mount to the frame rail (which is hydro formed) as well as the front cross member (which is boxed). Grand total of 7 bolts per bracket, iirc. I advocate utilizing the same ones if you're not up to a full bumper replacement (bought or built versions).

if anyone is interested in a set of bolt-on hooks or d-rings, pm danny with your thoughts or preference. he's very interested in this and i'm sure he can beat the devil out of dodge dealer pricing. and for anyone watching ebay, you know they're few and far between and we don't have any other easy options.

That would probably jack up the air dam I installed on mine...so I will just have to make sure I don't get in a position where I need to get pulled out....or towed.....or....
So I will stay tuned to DF to make sure I can keep my Ram running good!

Thanks for clarifying! I was going to start building bumpers but I hooked up with Road Rhino and figured "why reinvent the wheel?" It frees me up to do more of the stuff that nobody else does. The benefit of buying from DOR is that you can get them cheaper (coming very soon, just need to update prices on site) than from Road Rhino directly.
Good to see you on here!
