Anyone know of a good way to install some shackles/hooks to the frame in the rear so I have a rear recovery point w/o the use of a receiver system?

Anyone bolt hooks to the frame in the rear?pics?

 

mispost

 

If im not mistaken there should be somewhere back there to install them on the frame because thats where they install your tow bar, do you have a tow package?

 

why don't you want to use the tow hitch?

 

I don't have a tow hitch nor do I need one right now. The only thing I haul is the dirtbikes and they both fit in the bed. Im guessing I can use the holes that are in the frame already. Ill take pics and find some hooks and see what yall think...thanks

 

These hooks bolted to the boxframe somewhere?

Nevermind, I just went out and looked. It won't work for the rear frame. I guess I'll get a hitch system, and maybe hooks to replace the enclosed hooks up front.

 

Can anyone recommend a decent tow hitch thats bolt-on that I can order online and install in the driveway? websites?

BTW Ill use this with it.

will those work? Does the 05 FX4 have a "vibration damper"? It says it wont fit if it does. I went out and looked and cant see one......

 

why dont u go to your local dealer, or junk yard and buy the front tow hooks from our trucks then mount them somewhere in the back..

also..
pay no attention to this guy...

 

why replace the enclosed hooks? and ill second the dont use the leafs that isnt a smart place to pull from

 

I want to replace the enclosed hooks so attaching a looped strap will be easier. I would never pull from my leaf springs.lol.

Im just going to get a tow hitch and use it. Thanks all.-Adam

 

thanks guys for the correction. i try to delete my post up there so i cause no further confusion. i wasnt sure about it and it wasnt my first choice but some guy did it with my sporttrac when i was slightly highcentered and it had no problems.
