So i bought the much needed tow hooks from a guy for my 1500. But it didn't come with the nuts and bolts to mount it. Should i ask the dealer for the hardware? or can i just go to home depot and pick up the biggest manliest bolts i can fit through the holes to withstand the tow. Any input is helpful!

I got the bolts from Low's or Home Depot. I got some washers too.

I've used the front hooks, no issues so far.

honestly, all you need is 2 bolts, that is all they come with. The 4 nuts are already on the trucks bumper bracket. The bolts are porbably avail from a dodge dealer for 5 bucks....for a newer truck I'd rather just do that, this way they are as they were suppose to be.
