Looking for replacement tow hooks

I’m looking for replacement front tow hooks for 24-25 Ranger Raptor. I’m not finding anything that seems to be compatable. I’m specifically looking for something that is this style:

@RIVAL 4x4 Makes a set very similar.

The stock tow hooks have brackets on the inboard side to support the intercooler. It looks like that kit from Rival4x4 comes with brackets that addresses that issue.

Yeah, that’s my issue with compatibility. I may have to Frankenstein something together and chop up the original bracket to get what I’m looking for.

There is no way I'd use that for a dynamic recovery, now that I get a better look at it.

I think I'll be in the market for recovery hooks, as well.

I’m actually looking at these. I’ll have to get some measurements though to see if the bolt spacing is the same as an F150. If it fits I could probably cut off the bracket for the intercooler from the OEM mount and weld it on to the new one. It is aluminum though. Probably would need to have the spacer fabricated out of steel. I can weld steel to steel all day long.

Those would certainly be rad. Is the mounting location strong enough to get the benefit out of them, though?

It looks like the Rival offering might be reinforcing it's mounting location. I'd have to look under the truck to see what's supposed to go where. I've only had it for a couple of weeks, so I haven't fully explored it's undercarriage.

I did question the utility of the factory recovery points just from looking at them but, seeing how they mount in this thread, I want to replace them.

I was looking at the Rival ones in detail to see how the mounting plates attached. I was hoping I could combine that with the other ones I found. Not feasible though, and it’s a bit pricey. I’ll be dropping the skid plate this weekend to install some code orange Performance West stage 1 intercooler pipes and I’ll have a better look at it and come up with a plan.
