[ranger56528]

At what strength/point do these break? example 5000 lbs, etc.
For both the small/large shaft, front and rear ?

Here is a look of the Front install from removing only the belly pan

Installed the rear hook on my GT last friday. On the GT w/ PP (maybe all S550s?), you basically have to remove the entire bumper if you want unfettered access to the rear bumper for drilling, since the diffuser and the bumper are actually one single piece of plastic, and the rear metal crash bumper is directly above the diffuser.

I just removed the black plastic lower surround, rear backup light, and bent back the diffuser far enough to get a drill in there and although it worked, I'm not sure I'd recommend that route.

Overall that rear hook is pretty clean once installed.

Thanks for the info, we have not had a standard Mustang with full Fascia to check it out on.

We pulled to 10k with no break (small shaft strait) so that makes them good to 5k did not test to breaking point. the shaft is chrome moly and very strong, way stronger than the Decooler others use for a tow hook made with a aluminum hinge. Very few tow hook are rated at all. Its not made to pull your car up a 90 deg cliff if that you will have other things to be concerned with. Ours are made to pull a car up on a trailer, off the track out of the sand and so on.

Thanks alot, car looks great trying to decide on 19x10 or 19x11 6GRs.

 

[NightmareMoon]

The 11s are tempting, but they look about the same as the 10s from the side, since all the added width is on the inside. I think the 11s are about a quarter to a half inch deeper dish tho.

I went 10s are have few regrets. Note I said few, and not none

We now have the front license plate holder for the GT350 tow hook receiver we make.
