Alright ladies,

If I got a brush guard I know I pretty much loose my front tow hooks, is there anyway around that? Basically I want a brush guard on my truck, but still want to be able to use the tow hooks....

 

Most brush guards I've seen retain the tow hooks.

 

Yea thats what I am afraid of....

 

Here's mine:

It's made by Aries Automotive. The brackets for it are bolted between the frame of the truck and the tow hooks. They use the original mounting bolts for the tow hooks.

I have pulled my F250 out of snow banks a couple times with the toow hooks and used the brushguard to push a vehicle uphill in the snow.

EDIT:
It's not that far off center, I took the pic at a slight angle.

 

Retain = you keep the tow hooks.

 

Sorry hellfire but.........^^^

 

 

haha fail. what i was thinking was the brushguard was taking the tow hooks. guess i have to laugh at myself if laugh at others sometimes.....

 

ranchhand grille guards look good on our models....http://www.ranchhand.com/GrilleGuards.aspx

 

you also can "retain" the hooks with these haha

 

When I installed mine the instructions said I would have to loose mine but like a quarter inch of trimming some of the valance and turning two of the mounting bolts around and I still have my hooks. Good luck

 

heres my grille gaurd. i still have front tow hooks also

 

smartass. hahahah

 

get the WAAG IMO its the best looking one for 04-08 BS.

 

i think the brush guards look awesome on these trucks, plus not alot of people get them, mine is the ranch hand one, love it though... even when i got my 3" body lift i had to pay some guy to cut and weld it so it would fit back on my truck cause they didn't sell brackets for the body lifts but totally worth it...
