Need help finding tow hooks, 2017 1500 Laramie crew cab, plastic bumper with plastic inserts. Plastic bumper?

I have the steel bumper with the inserts (I believe they are all plastic).
Call your local Mopar dealer, give them your vin# and they should tell you the part numbers. Then just do a google/amazon/eBay search for those part numbers

Mopar PN: 52855201AB

It’s listed as a trailer hitch and bumper bracket for a 2011 Dakota. It looks nothing like the factory bracket, but fits and lines up PERFECT.

I just ordered my tow hooks from Mopar. Is the bracket not included?

Yes, the bracket is included. I bought mine off a wreck for $100, seller didn’t take the brackets off the wreck.
Apprently this issue is common buying used.

Gotcha! What did you use for your bezel? Did you reuse the existing cover and cut it?

Pictures don't appear to be working again, what about on someone else's end?

I have made some tow hook brackets that will allow you to install stock tow hooks mounted correctly on an express/sport model bumper...hit me up

The open part of of the hooks should face outwards

This guy installs tow hooks on a Gen 4 Ram 1500 with metal bumper.
I may be wrong, but to me, the hooks are on backwards


This guy installed the tow hooks on a Gen 4 Ram with the Sport bumpers.
He installed the hooks the way they should be, to my way of thinking.
He cut the plastic insert to fit over the tow hooks
