I'm an experenced welder, and whoever is going to be doing the welding bettter know what he is doing cause the tow hookes might be cast steel, and if they are has to be welded a curtain way. and if you weld the hooks onto your frame, any weak spoot in the weld well cause the hook to rip off, or even some of the frame, cause tow hook are not desined to work that way.
