Just for Info. I mounted my tow hooks without the harware. The hardware is a plate and 2 bolts. The plate is drilled and tapped for bolts. When I checked with Ford, no hardware was available, service manager suggested bolts and washers. I mounted in this manner a little more difficult, required two wrenchs, but other then that easy. You need to remove bottom air dam for easier access. I also mounted Westin Guard at same time, just used longer bolts.
