RE: 97+ Tow Hooks Wanted

You are getting allot more for your money than just two hooks with the bolts
to attach them. There is also a complete set of brackets that come with the
hooks that spread the load to the frame. Yes $160.00 is a lot of money, but
what would it cost to have you hire a tow truck to go into the backwoods to
pull you out if some inferior hook broke or damaged your frame when you
tried to use them?
BTW, that 4500 lb rating is continuous, not peak like most others rate their
hooks. This means you can hang your truck by the hooks!

Can anyone recommend some decent and reasonably priced after-market tow
hooks for a '98 4x4?? MOPAR wants $160 for a forged pair that are rated at
4,500 lbs ea... I think/hope that's a ridiculous price.
