Are you talking the two stock the front "d" ring type ? I took mine off to mount my bull bar. Two bolts (upper and lower) each side - on my '05 if I recall correctly one or the other of the bolt or nut was metric, and the other was standard. Used same bolts to re-bolt the bull bar on. What is it you need a picture of (can't help w/that as bull bar is already on) ? If you click on my member info and click on the photo in my gallery which is same as my signature, you can see them - sorry not a close up.

The above picture shows the 1500 tow hooks and they are different from the 2500/3500 series for 2003 and up trucks. What tow hooks do you have?

The 2500/3500 hooks look like a E-clip used on pins. Just a lot bigger

I think this is the correct part number 82207917. Get the part number verified from Dodge. You can get them at dealer, or do internet search. I got mine from dealer.

I have 2500/3500 hooks. The manual shows the 1500 hooks then the 2500/3500 hooks on the next, but doesn't show the support bracket installation.

Why brackets ?

My 1500 megacab came without them. Got mine off EBay for $ 50 and just bolted them in. Removed the plastic filler in the bumper, and the supporting brackets were there. Should be same on 2500 and 3500.

Do you still need me to scan them in. Also, the mounting brackets are not there on the 2500/3500. They do come with the kit though
