Some kits have the option to flip the hooks upside down to retain them. What vehicle do you have?

my romik (black powdercoat) has been on over 1 1/2 years and its holding up just fine. On the 08, I was able to retain my tusks, and at 139 bucks it was a great deal.

With the 250, the brackets should bolt around the tow loops and not cause much issue with them.

just came today, had it put on within 20 minutes. very good quality actually. the skid plate serves no purpose, its pretty weak, when when i shake the bull bar, the whole trick moves. overall im very happy with it. my tow hooks are still useable, oem foglights are still shining, but i may need a license plate relocator

Would love to see some pictures. Just bought the same truck and trying to decide whether or not to order one. Thanks

Should. Weston did black and chrome, and I believe trailfx had polished stainless.
