Adding Tow Hooks
Hello, This is my first post here. I do have a question. I have a 2007 F150 XLT 2WD, I would like to add the tow hooks that are on the 2007 4WD. It looks like all I will need are 2 hooks, 4 bolts, 2 nut plates and the plastic balance thing under the bumper. Is the frames different between the 2WD and 4WD? Do you think this will be just a unbolt and add job or is there more to this than meets the eye? Thanks for any info you can give me.

for the install you'll need
(2) Tow Hooks
(4) Grade 8 bolts
(2) Nut Plates or (4) Nuts/washers
the 4x2 and 4x4 frame are identical. the bumpers are usually the same also unless you've got a FX2. check your lower bumper and if you see 2 upside down "U" shapes, then your set. just trim the black valance thingy to make room for them.
the install is fairly simple. I just removed mine for a Bull Bar install. The frame has a access port that you can use to slide the nut plates into and for use when tightening. There is no need to remove the bumper.
