Tow hook install issues

[Kee Fuller]

I tried to install tow hooks on my ppv and had an issue. I remove the push bar off my rig and the tow hooks dont fit. They dont slide into the frame like the rails from the push bar did. I thought maybe the frame was bent, but this is on both sides. Has anybody else had this issue?

bump, these should fit anybody run into this?

I sent him that same picture, from his picture above it looks like the left side of the frame edge might be bent in a little? apparently it's that way on both sides

Yes i had that problem the bumper bracket were c Chanel so when they bolted it in it bent it in a little bit. So just take a baby bfh and open up the opening then tap it in the rest of the way

there you go Cherokee try using a crow bar and open the channel a bit then tap it in with a rubber mallet so you don't damage the powder coat.

Interesting information.

Mine didn't have a push bar, just the tow hooks.

I mine pull them off and paint them since I'm working from home

I've had a can of cherry red paint for mine sitting on my work bench for a while now. Seems like a good time now too!

They add 20hp also because they're red, 10hp each.

it's not as solid as you think, a little leverage and it will bend like butter

A port-a-power would probably work nicely...
