Does anyone know where to get these? MOPAR discontinued OEM part and I can't find any aftermarket pieces. Thx!
 

I had to change the lower grille trim out as well, it is part 68384296aa.
You will also need 4 - 6512808aa and 4- 6512809aa nuts and bolts.

I have a 2021 2500 Bighorn Crew Cab 6.4L Hemi 6’4“ box, 4.10 rear and a few other options, but didn’t think to order tow hooks. Actually, a little glad I didn’t as they would have come in chrome and the spouse prefers black. So I would like to ask a few questions. If I want to add them now, can I do it fairly easily? I don’t have either the front or rear Park Sensors. I have found a pair online with mounting hardware (part 68349511AB), but think I need the grille insert (68384296AA). Also, found hooks part …AA-AD. What is the difference between them? And lastly, how do I change that grille insert. I took some pictures of another HD with tow hooks and see how those get attached but couldn’t see how to change the grill. Thanks for any help. Kevin.

Edit: Sorry I was mistaken and thought this needed the grille removed when it only needs the bumper removed.

To install tow hooks you need to remove the bumper. The bumper can be removed by removing the front wheel wheel splash shields, winch if you have it, then the bumper itself by removing the 3 bolts on each side of it (driver & passenger). With the bumper off you'll have full access to where the tow hooks bolt on, and to the back of the bumper where the lower grille piece can be changed.

The AA-AD at the end of the part numbers are just iterations of the part. They changed...something...so came out with the next "version", and labelled it the next alphabetical letter (AA replaced by AB and so forth).

You can do it all pretty easy with the bumper on just have to pull the air damn off it takes a few mins to do
 
Ah gotcha. I was going off my experience researching how to add front parking sensors.
May need to pull the bumper for lower grill now that i think about it i never had it off so i didnt even think to look

You can do it with the bumper on but it is not easy. Trust me. There are 18 little bolts that hold the lower grille on. 12 are easy to access. 6 of them suck. But it can be done!

The air damn was the same a ton of little nuts/bolts, sounds easier to dremmel some cutouts for the hooks lol
 
Just removed tow hooks from my '22 2500 to mount a bull bar - no removal of bumper or air dam needed on mine. Removed the 4x large bolts (24mm) and they slid right out - I got 3 with my breaker bar, but had to find a guy with an impact wrench for the last one.

Would you sell and ship the hooks?
