I would like to install tow hooks in the front bumper of my 2011 Ram. Are there existing bolt holes in the frame, and how involved is this mod?:4-dontknow:

I bought the Mopar tow hooks through the dealership, you could likely find them cheaper

The dealer popped out my bumper insert
installed the hooks
trimmed insert to fit

These Dodge Ram Tow Hooks are rated with a towing capacity up to 5,500 pounds or 1.5 times the vehicles GVWR (depending on vehicle). These tow hooks securely mount to the frame and are fully tested for durability and load capacity.


The after market ones are sort of Flimsy

It's a really easy install and one of my first mods. It says that they will not work on the sport however all that is needed is to trim out the holes on the front fascia, just like GTYankee's pic shows. The mounting brackets are already there, just remove two bolts and add one that comes with the tow hooks. Definitely a worthwhile mod to do. Price is around $150 from the dealer.

You can get em for 130ish shipped online. I wanted em fast so I got wm from the dealer and they camr in next day.

And yea they will fit on any model, jus have to do some trimmig.

The OEM tow hook kit comes with the hooks and bolts to attach to the existing holes.
Since yo have a Big Horn, you do not need to cut out the bumper insert, you can purchase the insert from Dodge. Installation is a snap. :)

I would think that when they say each
they mean each PAIR or SET

This will be a BROKEN LINK, but it has the installation pictures & a short How To, just join the website link, so that it is not broken

That is because it is a BROKEN LINK, as i mentioned, just take your computer mouse click on the beginning or end of the link, hold the mouse button down & run the mouse from 1 end to the other, it will highlight the whole line, then click CTRL & C at the same time. then open your internet browser & when the mouse cursor starts blinking in the Search bar, click CTRL & V. that will Paste the line into your browser.
Now take your mouse & remove the space between the word central & the .
then hit the ENTER key, it should take you right to the site

I have to use the broken link, because when you are on 1 forum, they Block links from other forums
