I'm trying to get a front bumper with grill guard and a front receiver hitch so I can mount a winch in the front or back as necessary. I also will have a skid plate. Anyone know of specific parts I can combine or will I need to get it custom fab? I haven't seen this combo, so I worry about fitment issues.

I just saw a factory fabbed one yesterday on a F150 but don't recall the make.

So they are out there.

I am working on putting a hitch from a f150 on the FRONT of my truck because I got the hitch for a steal at a yard sale ($5). But it was late last night and I wanted to see if the holes would line up and there are some holes on the front of the frame that looks like it would mount up to pretty good and then there's two more bolts for the front which might mount to the bumper hopefully. Didn't get a chance to dry fit it yet but the width is perfect. Will get pics if I do. Not sure why I want a hitch on the front of my truck but I can see more pros than cons, like a winch, extra spot to step when working on truck, mount a d-ring for looks or just put a trail hitch in it so I can hit my shins on the front of the truck as well as the back lol.

My credo
In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they are different.
I put one on my front bumper. Only used it once so far. But for putting a small trailer exactly where you want it, that front hitch can't be beat. Just don't put anything on it that significantly blocks airflow to the radiator.
