I just bought some tow hooks for my 96 explorer sport. I was wondering where i could mount them from the rear. Thank you!

Depends on your type of tow hook. It has to be attached to a frame rail, not your bumper or suspension.
The best ones I've found for the rear are trailer hitches or you can find a factory tow hook at a scrap yard.

Some second gen sports came with factory rear tow hooks as pictured above. You could always get those and they'll bolt right in.
 






My last explorer sport I installed some factory gm 3/4 hook to the front. I did a little fab work but they hung down low enough to make a hole in the front bumper for easy access.
