Aight guys im wantin to put some chrome or stainless clevis's, d-rings, shackles, whatever these things are called! ha in place of my tow hooks...I'm a farm buy so its a clevis..ha So i was told by this guy that u can just bold a 2 in reciever in th frame...but i got to thinkin if i do that the hitch wont slide in there....and i dont want them to be stickin out real far and look ridiculous....so can you help me out i want them to look like this...

I know this guy is on here but apparently he doesn't get on here much....i would like that hood to good lookin truck!! but anywho...lol the tow hooks...

That truck has a FULL custom bumper, at least behind the lower valance, he has a winch as well, so he probably welded in a support for the winch and the 2" reciever tubes where he wanted them.

No he's the one that told me he just has them bolted in the frame...and its a Sanoma with a grill insert...and thats the factory bumper...like u said he just mounted a winch behind it...

So buy two reciever tubes and bolt them in the frame.

Ok dude i get that....did you not understand my question?? If i run 2 bolts up through the receiver tube the hitch won't slide up in there! So how do i get that to work? without duct tape?? ha:rotf:

 

[deathphoenix99]

Alright, so you need to find a longer reciever tube, or weld it. haha


I'm a bit tired today. But good luck to you and if you already have a reciever tube, you may want to look for another one.

the winch mount and reciever tubes on that ZR2 are off of synergyoffroad.com, it is NOT a full custom bumper, ont he synergyoffroad site you can buy the reciever tube kist for around $100(i think) and it come with reciever tubes, d shackle hitch recievers and new mounting bolts so it all fits int here nicely

the recivers bolt in useing the stock tow hook mounts
the reason they work out is the clivis mount is much shorter than your avarage one they are only a few inches deep.( if you look in the picture notice how far forward the pin is) you would have to modify a ball mount or just about any thing else to fit.

also you can make your own in an afternoon for about half the price and a bit of work.

it all depend on if you have the time and tools to do it or would rather just spend the money and do a 15 min install

the reciver tubes ($10) are cheap and so are clevis's ($5)
whats going to get you is the mount for the clevis there $30+
i wouldnt really trust them to stay on the front of my truck all the time. idont know how much you know about them but when you tighten them you back them off a bit cause if you dont them are a whore to get undone agin. if you want to go cheap and not for looks a ball mount and a clivis works great i keep one in my tool box incase i ever need to pull some one out

http://www.harborfreight.com/automo...long-2-inch-standard-receiver-tube-97095.html

they also sell a clevis and mount for $10 but i wouldnt trust the clivis and the ones i do trust dont fit
http://www.harborfreight.com/automotive-motorcycle/trailer-hitch/d-ring-receiver-hitch-66212.html

i dont have any pics of it with a clevis and i have a ball on it now due to pulling a trailer last month during my move.
but all it is just a ball mount without a ball and you just stick the clevis in the hole donst look pretty but it works well and cheap. i will be buying another ball mount when i see them on sale agin

[70CHEVY327]

[deathphoenix99]

I like having my hitch on my truck, that way it helps protect me if someone rear ends me.
