Yeah, after looking those over, it's actually a kit to replace the tow hooks with shackles.
It would have to use some of the existing tow hook hardware, if you had those.

I have the bolts and the rubber fascia plates, I am just looking for the tow hooks. How does the radiator mount with the shackle kit?

I looked at those on JEG’s site but how does the bottom radiator mount (the part circled in yellow)? On my truck there is a bracket with the mount on it, just no tow hooks. I fabricated this out of a pair of bronco hooks.

I bought a pair off amazon just like those and they will fit but only with some grinding off of the factory bracket, its not much and it was easy to do. I did take some pics but the 2024 bracket is not like the 2023, you will not need the extra part they give you. since the tow bracket also has the skid plate nut and it holds up the inter-cooler you cant just remove it.
I will post up some pics and show people really not that hard, took me about 30min to take off bracket cut out the tab and paint them an put them back.
but it will not be bolt on. you could also grind off a small part of the tow hooks to make it fit either way , factory bracket is thinner.

If you look at the bracket 1 picture on the truck you can see the tabs that i cut and then bent out. it was close , but then I took them off and cut them out completely, not hard , then painted and replaced. here is the amazon link to my hooks but any like this will work.

if the hook was narrower say 2.5 inch wide it would slip inside the factory bracket but these
are slightly to wide.
