I finally did this today. I ordered used hooks on ebay and went to the local spring shop for square u-bolts. Resprayed the hooks and they bolted on easy. I like the look of it.

I believe I had the older longer ones. From what I've seen, they mount exactly the same.

Thank you to everyone for so much info on this subject! Got this mod done a few weekends ago. I got the u-bolts from a local spring shop and the tow hooks from ebay.
