Front Tow Hooks

[Baileysbees]

Have found the need to hook a chain or rope to the front of my truck a time or two. Would like too see trucks with front tow hooks! I really like how Ford mounted them on the SD trucks. This might should go under the exterior discuss, but here it is. Pictures would be great!

I know John has them on his but last I heard they sold out and stopped production, good luck tho

From discussions in the past on PSD forums, you need to put a brace between the frame horns on an OBS to avoid pulling a frame horn to one side when using tow hooks. I have a front receiver hitch with loops on it (and the hitch acts as a brace). Cheers!

Sounds like a good excuse to install a RSK. They have a brace that connects the front of the frame.

97beast is his user name here, and where can I get a front receiver hitch, saw one a guy made once with 2 hitches in the bumper used for weight racks was a sweet set up

Just by a ranch hand.

Ranch Hands do not look the best for the OBS

And Precision Metal Fab has a front receiver as one of the options, along with Tow hooks loops

I've been using this same front rec'r. it's got a pair of loops and the 2" rec hitch where I use a shackle. I've used this to to drag (and be dragged) many times.

Here's my hooks that 351Fifty was referring to.
The manufacturer is colibert. They were discontinued well early into the last decade. I tracked down the original manufacturer about a year and a half ago and they had a few sets sitting around. For $50 plus the ride they shipped me a set.
These hooks are awesome. 100% bolt up solution. Ive used them a few times and they are worth every penny.
Heres a few pics. It uses existing holes in the frame horns. A hook secures the front hole and a nut and bolt in the back holes.






Heres a shot of the whole truck with the hooks.
