Hey I have recently purchased a Performance accessories 3 inch body lift and as I was reading the instructions I noticed it says I can't keep my front tow hooks. Has anyone figured out a way to keep the front hooks with the 3" body lift? I really don't want to just get rid of them! My sport didn't come with them so I bought and installed them and have used them a handful of times. Anyone find a way too keep the tow hooks with the 3 inch body lift?

Unless you custom build some tow hooks that fit properly with the body lift, no you won't be able to keep them.

your new iron cross bumper will have d ring mounts anyway :naughty:
Thats kind of what I was thinking. I'm just not a huge fan of the ironcross bumpers. I just thought someone would have figured out a way to make the factory hooks work, or had some ideas for something custom.

My Express didn't come with the tow hooks , I bought a set from a member here & installed them knowing I would Not be able to install a body lift and retain the hooks .... so I'm just planning to do the BDS 6" suspension lift with 35s , I have the 355 differentials & the 6 speed xsmn ,
If I had 392 or lower diffs I would likely opt for a body lift + suspension lift with 37s ...
