Tow hooks going to fit? - 2/18/2008 4:48:30 PM    willjones Posts: 634 Joined: 10/12/2007 From: Wilmington, NC Status: offline Hopefully someone who already has a bodylift can help me out. I am going with the PA 2" and I want to know if I am going to have to cut the lower part of my bumper to get the hooks to fit, or do I have to make brackets to drop them down? I would like to know this before I start so I can figure out what I am going to do? _____________________________ Post #: 1

My whole truck has been ripped apart for a couple weeks or so since I started this project. _____________________________ (in reply to YepIOwnA97Blazer) Post #: 5

Many have said that they will fit, so I am going to see. If it doesn't then I am going to use a Dremel to slightly trim it to fit. Thanks though. _____________________________ (in reply to Blazer00) Post #: 11

RE: Tow hooks going to fit? - 2/22/2008 7:37:05 AM    GeorgesBlazah   Posts: 78 Joined: 2/21/2008 Status: offline I wouldnt trim it. Get new hooks that will hang down below the bumper. I think I paid ~25 for these hooks; Pretty sure Pro Comp made em. I dont have any specific pics of em, but heres a few I found in my PB that show em. What I did was use an existing hole from the original hooks and drilled it out to fit the bigger bolt I was using with these hooks. Once I bolted the first bolt in, I drilled in the pilot hole in the second hole on the hook(since they are shorter than the factory ones). Unbolted and finished drilling it out. Then bolted back on. Dont mind my bent frame in this pic, its what happends when you tug on a stuck K5. (in reply to willjones) Post #: 12

I was wanting some input on the size of bolts and how to mount them without cutting up the valance. _____________________________ 1986 S10 Blazer 4x4 2.8 engine Automatic (in reply to GeorgesBlazah) Post #: 14
