They replace the cheapy factory tie down brackets for when the truck is shipped and use the same hardware.


That would need to be verified...I'm leary of adding a thick tow hook to the side with the bracket...I can't see how the factory bolts would be long enough? But my Ace Hardware had the correct length.

Another option would be to just replace the factory hook (on the other side) with an aftermarket one with the clip to keep the strap from falling off <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />


If you remove the bracket then the bolts are long enough. I think when i did mine i purchased longer bolts and kept the factory brackets.
