Ummmmmm... Don't know how to take this. We went from talking about over loading a frame cross member to political International shit talking? I'm not engaging. Not the forum for it
I just looked up a front tow hook for a 2020 Ranger, $130... Jebus, they're proud of their steel.
These tow shackles should fit then?I just looked up a front tow hook for a 2020 Ranger, $130... Jebus, they're proud of their steel.
Ha! Chrome ones for a 2019 Ranger are $65.
Edit: winnah! An F150 part, possibly the same, black or chrome.
Note: these are not Bronco spec hooks, they are similar in design but not the same configuration. The Bronco versions appear to have a 45 degree down angle.
Possibly, not having either, or my Bronco yet, someone is going to have to be the guinea pig and try them.
I had removed my fronts to mount Blue Ox baseplate. The fronts do not fit the rear, and hence the RC shackle adapters wouldn't either. The rears need 2 3/4" C to C on bolts, fronts are bigger.
No, I wouldn't expect the Bronco front shackles to fit the rear. The rears have a slight bend downward to avoid the bumper. It looks like the alternative Ford shackles that I was thinking of trying on the rear are straight across the top and look like they would hit the rear bumper (although the hole placement and size looks about right). Maybe I could offset with some washers, but then who knows how functional it would be???
I didn't tell the whole story, but I did put the front on the rear using a big washer on one bolt, OK for now, but looking for a real one for decent price. ASFIR (?) has one but it's aluminum and I actually like the looks of the Ford ones better.No, I wouldn't expect the Bronco front shackles to fit the rear.
