2021 RAM Front Tow Hooks

[Kicker0927]

Hello, I have a few questions regarding MOPAR front tow hooks. I am looking at installing chrome tow hooks with the bezel kit.
1. I noticed the 'chrome' tow hooks are no longer offered in a kit which included both L and R chrome tow hook and necessary bolt. However, the black tow hooks still come in a kit which includes everything. If you want the chrome tow hooks you have to purchase all pieces separate. Is there a reason for this? Are the chrome tow hooks being discontinued or phased out? I just wanted to make sure there aren't issues with the chrome hooks that anyone is aware of?
2. There are 2 different part numbers for chrome tow hooks that fit my truck...one cost $81 per hook and the other cost around $110 per hook. I can't see any differences other then the part numbers. (part# 68272944AB vs. 68288776AA) I also noticed a couple different part numbers for the bezel kit. Am I missing something?
3. I think the chrome tow hooks look sharp with the chrome front bumper. What do you all think?

Thanks!

Absolutely right. Pain in the butt, until someone here told me about getting soft synthetic shackles. It make things alot better to strap on.

Which soft shackles do you use?

Installed my front tow hooks today. It wasn’t too bad and I’m not mechanical at all! I used a set of service ramps and I highly recommend that to give you the space to comfortably install. And before someone asks regarding my pictures, yes, I used a dog bed to lay on while installing. One thing tho, I tried and tried, but could not tighten the bolts to the recommended torque with my torque wrench. The wrench was too long to get enough movement under the truck. But the bolts are tight as hell and I hit them with some blue locktite. Also, I noticed my 2021 Laramie did not have the little metal clips at the bottom of the factory bezels that they tell you to remove. The Mopar tow hook bezels come with the clips so I installed them when I put the new bezels on, but thought I’d mention that because I specifically bought a clip remover to remove them, but it seems the clips may not be necessary anyways. I’ve attached a couple pics of them installed. I dig the look and having a 4x2 truck it gives me some peace of mind having the front tow hooks.

Here are a couple pics of the front tow hooks with the soft shackles on. These are the soft shackles that @arod412 referenced above at this link:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B081RBCP8...abc_AS5TM32V6ZRZVHCRSKAW?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

They were $27.99 for a two-pack and are rated at a 35,000lb break strength. They seem to be of great quality, but a fair warning they stink like hell when you first get. Probably the synthetic materials used. I aired mine out for a week and then put them in my Yeti GoBox and they still stunk the whole inside up! LOL
