So I need to get some recovery points on the 08 5.7 right away. I don't want to waste $$ on the factory tow hooks. I have been looking for D-Shackle Mounting Brackets.
Saguaro 4x closed down and the only other option I see is this Made To Order seller on Ebay that I don't know if I trust. It seems like its taking a while to ship and I just don't know if I trust some guy making them. I couldn't figure out if he was associated with a company or not.
Are there other places to get the mounts? Please let me know. This is all I have found so far.
I had the first ones that were made by a FB member: they were thicker than normal. I paid $120. SA does make good products too. For me, it would be the type of finish they come in and what size diameter ring they accept. Good luck!
A guy on ebay makes good mounts his name on ebay is Extinegarage i'll show a pic of mine those are the exact ones i got they are made good and fyi get the added stainless hardware like i did
If you read in the description it says they are made to order so it took mine about 10 days but well worth it they fit 5/8" d-ring 3/4" pin which are smaller but theres no need for huge d-rings based on the wk vehicle weight hope this helps
Yeah that's the ebay item I was looking at. I was just a little weary since he isn't from one of the big companies. I'm gonna pull the trigger this week. Thank you for your help.
I just pulled the trigger on the front shackle mounts I posted in my first post from ebay. Also got the factory tow hitch / bezel and new black & red powdercoated shackels all around. They should be here in a week. I'm going to do a write up. I feel fairly confident in this install and I couldn't find many write-ups on it.
My only concern is (and i know it stated on their site that the mount is compatible with 05-10 models) that on the 08 is has a different front air dam and im hoping that it wont get in the way. Is there anyone on here that has a 08+ model with these installed?
Thanks looks great! How easy is it to remove he air dam? Sorry only had my truck for two days haven't gotten a chance to really get up under there and check it out haha
