I have an aries black retriever grill guard that i bought off of amazon. Had to get the headlight guards separate, but still only spent around 320$, about 2 yrs ago. I was able to keep the tow hooks under the frame attachment using the original bolts. Really like it. Its bigger than most grill guards, and someday I might add an winch.

I have a Ranch Hand guard. In my opinion it's the best guard out there although it is on the expensive side. The tow hooks stay in place, here's a picture of mine.

If yours are on the very bottom bar then yes I want them higher. I want to mount them in the middle bar near the grill
