Are Tow Hooks Retained after Installing Hitches # 31108 and # 65028 on 2005 Chevy Silverado

Question

Question:

Need clarification on tow hooks. Comments state tow hooks can remain on vehicle after installation, as do the pictures, but instructions say to return tow hooks to customer. Referring to Drawtite 65028 or Curt 31108 I want tow hooks to remain on vehicle after install. Possible?
