Removing front tow hooks

Have you had issues with the shackles swinging and hitting the bumper or were you able to get them snug enough so they don’t move?

 

No not at all I cranked them down as tight as I can and they're pretty well in place

 

oh wrong person, my b. well mine work lol

 

I didn’t use the shins in the box and they just hang down and I never have problems with them up there. Even used them about two weeks ago to anchor a small Jeep down for him to winch someone out of a snow bank lol. We got 5+ feet of snow in about a day n half up on summit county. That day I used the tow straps to yank a few out

 

yeah mine dont make noise either, i noticed the powdercoating has kinda rubbed off where it would make contact so it must hit at some point but i never notice it

 

Can I just remove the tow hooks and not replace them with new ones? Just reinsert the bolts? I have a steel bumper with shackles on it, the too hooks just look awkward handing out down there now. Thanks!!!
