Towing w/o factory hooks??

I had the misfortune of getting stuck in deep snow and my "lot truck" came w/o tow hooks

A road patrol came along and offered to tow me, but when I crawled under my 04 I couldn't find anyplace to hook to w/o causing major damage. How much are the factory hooks and are they hard to install? Does anyone know of any other option to make the RAM towable w/o the factory hooks. Seems someone on here said to have a grill guard we can't have the tow hooks anyway? Seems to be a lot of cooling and plastic under the trucks and no clean place to grab the frame. thanks for your help, Doc
