Do you have to take off the tow hooks ,or can you still use them

Yes it mounts in the same holes that tow hooks mount in I had to make my own brackets cause I have a 3 in body lift

I did not have to remove the ones on my 2003 Chevy Silverado, but I was able to reuse mounts from a previous guard rail that was on my truck. I think I would have had to remove them if I used the mounts sent with the kit.

yes you have to take them off because there is not enough room due to the thickness of the mounts

Yes the brackets replace the tow hooks. So the tow hooks have to be removed.

You can. The rails are screwed in, so unscrew those and the rails come off.

Yes. You can remove them if you need to. I did not get it on straight the first time I put it on. It bothered me so much that I removed and re-installed it the next day.

Yes, the hooks are removable . I would recommend buying extra hooks, there wasn't enough for me

Yes. It's just a wire hook basically. If you don't want it there you can just remove it.

no the tow hooks will have to come off, and the license plate bracket will have to be removed and the plate bolted to the lower part of the bull bar

To be honest I think these tow hooks are more for looks than use! I wouldn't trust them if you were towing out of a ditch. But if you need a tow on pavement I would trust them. Just my opinion. However I don't know the stress rating on them.

Yes. You don't need the floor mat hooks. My 2004 Silverado didn't have the hooks either.

I left mine on, but it seems you could remove them and place the plastic clips back in where they bolt to the roof. I saved mine in case I ever wanted to do just that.

I am in no way an expert here BUT everything was to be assembled. You put each hook on piece by piece. So if there are any you don't want on it, you can leave it off and that includes the top hooks. They are not attached so whatever changed you need to make can be done easily.

The hooks are separate. You can order them in a bunch/group depending on which ones you use.

They are screwed onto the end. They can be removed, but it would leave a hole in the end of the rod.

Not designed to tow, the hook is small & can kind of hang a car on it but they don't stay on very well.

Yes you will have to remove the air dams to find where the tow hooks would be mounted and then notch the air dams when you put them back on.

I think they can be left off. I have them on mine but, they are not necessary. All I would have to do is unscrew and pull off.

That's your call. With mine I just leave on the vehicle, you never know when you might need it ? I have in the past, removed them once, for me it was no rocket science to remove them or re-install them.

They can be removed. They're essentially held there by Velcro. Hope this helps :-)
