Default bull bar

I have a 07 f-150 4x4 with factory tow hooks and was wondering would you have to remove the tow hooks for good if i installed a bull bar?

yes you will have to remove the factory tow hooks, and that is the reason why I dont have a bull bar

a bull bar mounts up to brackets where the tow hooks are so yes you will have to remove them for good unless you make custom brackets or mount them someplace else

Ok, so can you use the Bull Gaurd as a tow support or would it bend or snap....

its not very heavy duty so it would most likely bend

I wouldn't trust one to hold up as a support

I guess I will just forget about the bull bar and keep my tow hooks.
