What is the best way to mount tow shackles to my frame horns? I already have tow hooks, but I want shackles.

Would love to see this if anyone has a good way to do it that looks clean and is functional. My tow hooks are bent.

I've seen it on a newer lifted gmc but never on a 400. LOVED the look of it tho!

Im gonna do some looking this afternoon and see what it'll take to put some on... This is a good idea

remove the hooks and make a plate to bolt in its place, then weld the outside ring of the shackles to the that.

heres a pic of my shackle mounts

they work best with a 3" body lift so the bumper is above the frame horns so they can stick out with out hitting the bumper

its just a 1" thick piece with tubing welded on the sides to support the farme rails when bolted down

Hmm I'm debating if I want to do this in the future or a bull bar?
