Hey guys. Looking to add recovery hooks to my front bumper, and plan to purchase the CURT branded ones that are available on amazon for about ten bucks per.
I'm wondering - can I use my factory TORX bolts or will I want to upgrade to grade 8 hardware? Or maybe the factory bolts are too short for the added .75" or so from the hook? Hell, for all I know the factory bolts ARE grade 8 rated. But I don't know.
P.S. I assume it's an easy install? Just take a peek under there, find the nuts, take everything apart and put it back together with the hooks and new hardware? Do I need to support to bumper or can I just do one side then the other?
Thanks in advance.
