Its almost impossible to do tow hooks and a bull bar right? Since they hook yo the same mount points?

You could probably pull it off if you got extended bolts.

I could never get rid of my tow hooks, never used them but they still look sick, lol

Yeah, I wish I could have both. Im thinking about getting a couple shackles welded on to that front frame though. With the leveling kit, and my long arms, I can reach to the frame to hook on a tow strap without even getting on my knees.

Does anyone have pictures (preferably a side shot) of the Aries bull bar on their truck?

The only downside with the Aries is it looks like it doesn't hug the bottom of the bumper as good as the Westin, and its polished stainless steel instead of chromed stainless. I would save $100 with the Aries though :/

But Im also not sure if the KCs will fit. I would also consider PIAA lights if I could get them for that $175 range.

Thanks for any input!

FYI.

PIAA 520 ATP lights are on Amazon Lightning deal right now. $150, 6" light. They're going fast! They are usually about $200.

Can't speak to the bull bar, but for driving lights a cheap set of hella 500's with an hid conversion relayed off your high's will be a cheap and easy way to put off some serious light.
