Front Reciever Hitch

I built a carrier for my winch today that allows me to put my winch into a standard 2" reciever hitch. So my ? is has anyone out here put a front reciever on their Dodge? My buddy has one on his f250 but it has a space in the middle of the bumper. I'm assuming I would have to cut a square out in the middle of my front bumper but hoping one of you guys already know what to do.

I'm having the carrier powder coated tomorrow and when I get it back I'll put some pics on here so you can see it. It looks good and was real easy to make so if anyone else is interested I'll gladly give instructions.

Look up Hiden Hitch in the search engine. I have one on the front of my truck and did not cut anything. NO PICTURES. But if you do the search some of the folks have PICTURES.

That is really all I needed to see. I really need measurements from the front of the hitch to the nose of the bumper. I have'nt welded the insert on the winch carrier yet cause I'm afraid it will hit the bumper before it lines up with the pin. I also might have to use one of those 5-6" drop hitch inserts and flip it up so the winch sits up a little higer.

I have'nt got it powdercoated yet but as soon as I do I'll post some pics.

I have the Draw-tite. Beefy, bolt-on, very nice but a tad more conspicuous than the Hidden-Hitch model.
