Default Tow Hooks

Can you install tow hooks on a 2wd 2001 f150? Is there a spot for them on the frame?

You would have to drill holes in your frame.

Actually he may not have to. I looked into this around a year ago. It seems some years have the holes predrilled into the frames some don't. My 2000 2wd doesn't have them but a couple of other people said theirs did. I guess the only way to find out is to crawl under and check.

Also, the 4wd valence had fog lights. These trucks a prewired for them but you'd have to buy a set and new light switch unless you don't mind the holes in the valance.
