I have a 4X2 screw. I don't have a hog bar installed but I liked the tow hooks and had them installed. I had to replace the valance (black piece just under the bumper with the holes for the hooks to go through when installed.) Cost was about $39.00 for the part. There won't be a need to remove the bumper to install your bar but I'm sure you will need the new valance. Good luck!

I think all the chassis are the same and that the holes should be there i put a westin bar on mine and it came with all the hardware to do it without the tow hooks although i already had them on mine

I did an Internet search for Ford OEM parts and looked at various sites until I found what I needed. I purchased my lariat screw in Sept. '03 when they first hit the streets. Back then the dealers didn't have parts in stock. I'm sure they should be able to get it for you now. But you may find it a lot cheaper on the web. Good luck.
As for TOREADOR's suggestion above (Cutting the slots), I thought about that also and was going to do it. But when I found the correct valance at an inexpensive price, I just thought it would be a cleaner/professional look. Again, hope all works out for you.

Thats a real good thought BUT the Hog Bar that I got doesnt have that , I also got a new valance at the dealer today .And when I took the other one off I got slaped good , part of the bumper is still blocking the frame hole ,I think im going to have too take the bumper off anyways. NOT GOOD
