Unless you can find used ones I bought mine on eBay.

Ebay is the quickest for new tow hooks--enter "Dodge Ram Tow Hooks" and you'll have many pages of info-

Good luck

Just wanted to say thanks to the OP and everyone who contributed to this thread. i installed OEM hooks on my 14 Express today and it went together pretty easy. Even more surprised that my freehand dremel work came out looking pretty decent lol

Anyone that has done this. Do you know the inner diameter between the hooks? Specifically what size lights bar would fit between them?

I was going to add a 42" light bar but also have hooks in my garage I want to add.

:) The in-turned hooks are about 30x3/4" apart and the shafts are about 40x1/2"-

Good luck

Ken226 - Is there any way I could get a set of your tow hook brackets? How does a million dollars in small unmarked bills sound? Lol. Seriously, if you have a set I would love to buy them.:happy107: I attempted to make them but am tired of:emotions122:

Thank you. I have the tow hooks but need help coming up with a bracket for my Ram Sport. I really can't believe Ram doesn't offer something like Ken came up with. I know there must be a lot of plastic bumper Rams out there that need tow hooks.

I know it's an older post but I'd like to mention these brackets are amazing. I've been using my truck to pull out branches and stuff in the yard and even a couple small stumps. it's so nice having tow hooks on my truck.
