Default Front tow hooks and Bull bar *Help*

Just about all bull bars ive found require you to take off the front tow hooks. Has anybody been able to remount the front tow hooks somewhere else on the front end so that they are not in the way of the bull bar and can still take quite a pulling without ripping off?

Thanks

Havent looked in depth at how the tow hooks are mounted.

Try the Westin Ultimate Bull Bar 32-1950. I just installed these on my 07 QC but I do not have tow hooks and I think they can clear the tow hooks front towing points. Best price I could find was Amazon.com for 347.04. Check the install PDF file on Westin's site to see the mounting points. Imo these bars are awesome.

As far as I know, you will lose your tow hooks with all of the bull bars. About the only one that works is the mopar grill guard which is overpriced. Are you looking for something to mount lights on or having the look of the bull bar?

If you want something to mount some lights on, Randy Ellis makes a real nice bar that holds up to 4 - 9" lights. You take your tow hooks off, the bar bolts to those existing holes then you put your tow hooks back on right where they were. It mounts behind the tow hooks. Here is a link to there site.
