Does anybody know if there is a screw in type of tow hook for a 05 ram, that way i can interchange loops and hooks etc, been looking online but i only see them on cars

and are these really for a 1500?

Edit: Could i fab up a plate and weld a nut to it, like a 1 inch, would the threads hold? then just get some i bolts that thread in to it?
i'm also thinking of getting a front hitch instead may be eaiser

 

I think those are really made for the 2500/3500 trucks. Our 1500 tow hooks are different and look more like a tow bar.

However, those may be able to be added on and made to work. Either ones are bolt on and can be take off.

 

I had measured my mounting location a few months back for someone who wanted to mount those hooks on their 1500. It was too close to say yea or ney...that's a good price but expect shipping to be atleast that much or more (out of Canada?) To install I removed the plastic bumper insert and just bolted them on. did not need mounting brackets., bolts directly to frame. Good luck.

 

wow they look really nice i want a pair

 

aw they wont work with the 1500

 

a guy here was selling a set for $50 on craigslist....they dont look like that though...they do have the loop instead of a hook but they are welded to a flat bumper bracket, not two bolt up deals

I think someone on here or DT at some point tried a set of 2500 hooks on a 1500 and it didnt work

 

Anything can be made to work if you wanna fab it up...

Personally if I was gonna pay over $150 for a set of factory hooks, I'd spend the same money or maybe a couple bucks more and just go with a receiver hitch. Much more versatile than just just hooks. Then you'll have the option of sliding on anything that either comes on a 2" receiver or you can bolt to one...

 

very true

 

Like a hook or a winch hint hint.Actually there are a few things that can be recieved (if you will) Into the reciever.

 

too true, rocket...

I personally have fabb'd up a full size light bar, mini light bar, shackle mount and of course my old winch on portable receiver mounts.

Nice thing is that any and all of the above can be used in either the front of my Jeep, rear of my Jeep or rear of my truck...
