Default Front tow hook question, and plowing question

I just bought a 2002 F150 4.6L V8, 4X4, extended cab. It did not come with front tow hooks, and was wondering how hard it would be to put them on and what parts would I need? I was also wondering if anyone with the 4.6 plows snow and if they would reccomend it or not? I have a Meyers 7.5' steel plow that I took off my F250 that I sold. Any knoweledge and answers are appreciated. Thanks!

If it has the holes in the lower vallence(black plastic piece across the bottom of the bumper) then u just need the hooks bolts nuts. If it don't have the holes in it then u need a 4x4 vallence. If its a 4x4 then it has the bolt holes in the frame

it wont be to hard, atleast it wasnt when i took mine off, youll need the tow hooks and 2 sets of nuts and bolts. but you might have to remove the plastic part of the front bumper to be able to put the nuts on the bolts inside the frame though.

On mine I used a piece of wire so I wouldn't have to take the vallence off because when it comes factory they have a I shaped clip with bolt holes at each end
