The d-ring is nice. I didn't want to have to buy a new bumper yet. Thanks for the quick response.

So if d-ring are better, should I stay away from the factory front tow hook? I bought the C-package due to price difference in Nashville.

Thank you, good to be here. Do you belong to Southern Four Wheel Drive association? I'm looking for a local club.
