I have a 2003 3500 with the "Sport" package. I want to install a front hitch, will it fit without damaging my bumper and I also have the DSS steering stabilizer?

Does anyone of pics of a similar setup?

Thanks.

 

i have a front hitch with a dss steering stabilizer. but i do not have the sports package. i also took off the front plastic air dam too. i think that needed to be cut if i kept in on.

 

I have the Curt front hitch on mine (not sport) and did not have to remove or cut the front air dam. Fits like a glove.

 

i want to do this also, is it something that can be bolted on easily? or does it have to me welded... for the receiver hitch?

also.. who makes one that fits for this application??

 

mine is a ramsey brand (ramsey winch) which bolts right up. no drilling the frame,etc. mine will be for sale in the classifieds section in a couple of weeks-i have a front bumper coming.

 

On my 2006, the hitch fit without having to remove or modify the plastic air dam. I don't know if you have tow hooks on your 2003 because you can buy a front hitch that bolts onto the tow hooks. Personaly I did not like the look, but on the other hand you do not loose any ground clearance.

 

I just installed a Curt front mounted hitch. Instead of drilling a 1-1/8" hole like they suggested on the underside of the frame. I drilled a 1/2" hole and found a large hole on the frame behind the wheel to fish the bolt up to the hole using a couple coat hangars. Saved me from drilling that huge hole in the frame and possibly weakening it.
