Default Tow Hooks
Has anyone bought aftermarket tow hooks for a 2003 F150 2WD and how did you install them?

Most people would probably do the loop style and shackle on the bottom of the frame rail... but you may need to modify your valence so the strap or chain doesn't rip it off if you need to use it.

You would need to drill the holes to mount them.
