    Need some help. Are there any other options out there to purchase so that I can do the tow hook to shackle conversion for my 2016 CM? All I seem to find is the kit made by Rough Country and AMI Styling.

    The Rough Country looks basic and very cheap while the AMI Styling looks big and bulky.

    Those are the only two styles that I’ve come across. Would soft shackles eliminate your need to do the conversion?

    I like the look of shackles. Just wanted to know if there were more options out.

    Not necessarily. They are priced accordingly with others.

    Let’s leave the ABS guards out of this. And if you want to say knock offs do some research please. I posted a picture and if u see every other tow hook adapter they all look the same dayum way! Some are cut differently some have different letters but in the end it’s all the same crap!

    Just saying...and I already did my research hence why I posted a picture of what I got. Just think others should know it's not your first offense posting knock offs.

    You have those on yourself? Someone on here sold me same ones but don't say TRD, believe guy that sold em to me he got from guy who had em made, anyways they are built good, but are you using the same bolt that was holding the stock tow hooks?

    So you posted your truck with RC tow hooks? Those are knock offs also just are cut differently and have RC on the side. Unless you can prove they created these we will call those knock offs also. See how we can twist this also. Haha

    When I put on I felt the thickness of that takes away from bolt, so I went to a bolt shop and got one that was an inch longer
