    you might be able to fit a set of after market hooks in there. if i'm remembering right, the ford ones are big and wider than after market ones. you can always weld some new hooks up :hmm:

    I wouldn't unless you want to rip them tow hooks out of the bull bar on the first pull.

    Those hooks are rated for 10k lbs. I doubt that the bull bar is rated for that.

    that bull bar is rated for maybe 300lbs. i had one ripped right off my truck when i tried to have someone hook up to it and pull me out. it was sad and funny to see him suddenly pull away w/ my bar, but my truck wasn't moving.

    :jester: Ive seen that happen. people go to hook up a strap and just put it on their little dinky bullbar and the other guy floors it and rips it right off.
