I bought my truck new without tow hooks and never thought anything about until I realized there is virtually nowhere to hook up this truck without ruining something when it gets pulled out of a bad situation. I found a set of new take offs on market place for fifty bucks six miles away from me came with the original hardware and all. My truck was built without tow hooks so it had the mesh style lower grille so I took a hacksaw blade and cut out just enough to not interfere with the hooks. I think it came out looking pretty good I left enough of the mesh grille to fill in around the hook filling up empty space the correct style grille leaves open. Just slid them in and used the impact to get them tight and its done the impact tightened them up nice no movement or rattling Im pretty happy its done.

Is it possible to remount the OEM Tow Hooks with an aftermarket bumper ? I understand cutting the bumper may be required but the OEM mounting is the important thing.

I do not them yet but I see a lot on eBay for under $100.00.

If there is anyone in the Edmonton area looking for factory take offs from a 2021 2500 I have a set. Had to take them off to mount my Transformer winch bumper and the winch bumper has its own hooks. Comes with all the hardware.
