Tow hooks

[Htown_LTZ]

So I recently bought rough country's tow hook to D-ring conversion kit. I have the 3.0 duramax engine and I couldn't remove the driver side tow hook because of the intercooler. Anybody have an idea on how to remove it? I think I might have to remove the entire front bumper. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I think there are threads showing guys cutting the head off the bolt with a reciprocating saw and then using a new bolt from the other side to secure the new hook.

Yes, only way to do it

That's how it was done on the K2 trucks, so you didn't have to remove the front bumper, I did it on mine.  But I didn't know that was the case with the new T1 trucks.
