Tech Tip
Vehicles with OEM tow hooks will use those fastener bolts to install the hitch. Due to variations in tow hook fasteners, the 1/2" holes in the hitch may need to be enlarged to 9/16" holes for the tow hook bolts to fit. No drilling through vehicle frame required for installation , Trimming of front air dam and/or fascia may be required for installation

2003 Chevrolet Silverado Owners Who Purchased This Front Receiver Hitch Also Bought...
Just got it today. Looking forward to putting it on.
Fit perfectly, all hardware was correct, and instructions were simple. Ordered on Monday morning and had it in Southern Minnesota on Wednesday. Awesome! Great customer service!
Great product. Also great company. I ordered the hitch and I recieved a response from e-trailer right away. They did a great job on packing it and it was delivered sooner than I expected. I will continue to do business with this company. They treat you like you a long time customer the first purchase.
Product arrived on schedule. Instructions easy to follow. The inner frame bolts were difficulty to access once the receiver was in place. Overall, a relatively easy job to install. We are using the receiver to attach a bike carrier to the front of my truck as we haul a 5th wheel and cannot use the rear receiver when towing.
Easy install. Less than 15 minutes. 2003 GMC 2500 HD crew cab with 2 tow hooks. Removed old bolts then with hitch across my legs, legs extended under the truck was able to lift in place an bolt up using new longer bolts that came with kit. I did not need to trim fascia.
I purchased Curt’s custom front mount 2” hitch. Installation was easy, mounting points were accessible without necessity of a lift or floor Jack. In the year I’ve used it it has been very handy in pushing a dump trailer, car hauler, landscape trailer, diesel wood chipper uphill and around curved access and parking said trailers between other pieces of equipment and parked vehicles w/o the unfortunate scrapes and dents sometimes incurred while moving the same trailers into the same locations while attempting to back them into position. A very handy trailer hitch for parking a trailer in a crowded equipment yard.
I had been waiting to find this Curt hitch on sale for a while.
First off I get to keep the hooks that came with my 2004 Silverado Crew cab 2500HD 4x4.
Then I removed two existing bolts and loosened a third on each hook.
Using a floor jack lifted the hitch into place and threaded in the new bolts through the frame and into the hooks.
The biggest problem I had was being able to reach the bolts into the side of the frame and hooks w/out removing the air dam.
Looks GREAT!!
I know some reviews have mentioned a reduction in ground clearance but my truck is not lifted and the clearance is nearly the same as the transmission skid plate installed by the factory.
I sometimes need to get low hard to see trailers into tight spaces and I’m also looking to pick up a winch. Looking forward to many years of hard work.
Unbelievable how clean the install is for this product!! I was certain I would have to do some cutting or drilling, however not a single cut or new hole required. The product fit like it was straight from the factory ... even with the existing front Grille Guard that I have on my truck!!
I also appreciate the FAST shipping and customer service, as tracking info was emailed after the product shipped without requesting this info and the product arrived within the same week.
I've already recommended etrailer to other landscapers on lawnsite.com, as we're always looking for front-mount solutions for spreaders and other landscape equipment.

I have to say that I absolutely LOVE this product!! It works perfect for mounting my walk-behind fertilizer spreader to the front of my truck while having the larger PermaGreen spreader on the back of my truck. Having this front-mounted hitch has allowed me to carry both of my spreaders and not sprain my back while wrestling the smaller spreader out of the bed of my truck as I had before.
I waited 12 days for a shipment from amazon and the hitch was lost. They want to send me another hitch with a due date of January 6, 2024! You guys are the best! 2 day’s service was outstanding!!!

It works like a CHAMP. It was easy to install and I love it.
This was the easiest installation of the 10 or more hitches that I have installed. Four bolts out and replaced with four suppler bolts and washer. No modification of the air dam needed.
I needed some washers (supplied) between the frame and the receiver as spacers. I recommended that you figure out how many you need (1 or 2 per side), then lower it down and tape them in place to hold them in place and push the bolts through the tape after you lift it back in place.
Cover the ground with a rug or cardboard to keep from scratching the receiver when it’s on the ground before you lift it into place.

Still good. No corrosion or other issues.
This hitch mounted to tow hooks just as described, even with existing brush guard. Needed it to haul a generator the only issue was the brush guard stuck out too far so I had to buy a 12" extender. Now every thing works as planned. Shipping was fast and customer service was great.
Thank You
Easy install; unobtrusive, but hitch receiver is far enough forward I can install the bike rack without needing an extension.
This fit my 2006 Silverdo 3500 easily - and it has been a great addition to be able to carry my motorcycle in front of the pickup while camping.
Front hitch for 2005 Chevy 2500hd that I ordered from etrailer.com
It works good use it on the front of truck for my winch to pull logs up or other things
I purchased the front hitch for my truck. With a fifth wheel I can’t carry bikes anywhere but the front. I really don’t trust the strength of the rear bumper on these RV’s. Hitch went on easy in the garage with no alterations needed. The bikes sit a bit high but that’s not the hitch problem....
I will also use it for other functions around the truck...push/re-locate utility trailer in tight spaces, use for a rack to haul stuff like firewood etc...when back hitch is unavailable.
Very good quality, Heavy Duty hitch that looks easy to install.
Ian W was very helpful with my order and customer service has been great.
This hitch fits the Chevy Silverado 2500 and 3500 I believe. My Chevy is a 2006 model.
I highly recommend Curt hitches and ETRAILER.COM.

The front hitch was easy to install and has been very useful. I just wished the 2006 Chevy Silverado had more clearance as far as height goes on the front end.Mine is a 4x4 but it could sure use a lift kit. The hitch is great though!
This is the second hitch I've ordered for my truck. This hitch was very easy to install on the front of my GMC Sierra and is almost unnoticeable, which I like. I use it to transport a small Honda Trail 90 motorcycle, and it's 9000lb rating is well above what I am asking it to do. It arrived via UPS several days after ordering, was in good shape, and only took ten minutes to install with only two different size socket wrenches. Highly recommend this unit for the front of any truck.
I would add to your instruction, if you have the factory hooks, remove the four bolts as stated and give to customer, " loosen the other two bolts on the outside of frame" this gives you a little wiggle room to start the new bolts. BUT great product and great people.
Great product easy installation reinforces your front end will definitely buy again for my next truck
I received the product (hitch) today and haven't had the opportunity to put it on my truck. I hope to do that this week or next. I can write an additional review at that time. Wayne H. did a great job clarifying which hitch would be best for my needs. I'll summit a picture after it is installed.

I love the product. It has come in lhandy many times when moving my trailer and boats. I would definitely purchase another if I ever purchase another truck in the future. I would recommend this product to anyone.
The 31108 Front Mount Hitch Receiver was a perfect match for my 2004 GMC Sierra 3500. I seemed well built and the instructions were clear and easy to understand. I installed the hitch in under 45 minutes and that includes prep time. No special tools required. See photo attached.
Worked even with all my aftermarket parts in this can aftermarker ranchhand bumper. Had to use extension to work but it works.

1 Year Review- The Hitch mount seems to have held up to the abuse of running my plow at my rural driveway400ft longand 1 to 2ft tall of drifting snow and my workplace in town3in to 1ft of snow and up to 2ft tall drifts at the building. I takes an hr to plow my workplace at minimum and I have pushed a lot of snow. I have broke my plow 2 times in this time frame. Im going to have to replace the hitch extension as its starting to bend but the hitch and mount seem held up well.I have been stuck in my driveway with my plow down and pile of snow bigger then my truck. Waiting for a back hoe to come dig me out 2 times. I straight abuse it for what its meant for and its done well. Very Happy
15 minute, piece of cake single-handed install. Instructions say cutting fascia optional on 2500. Not even close to needing to. Truck is 2005 Silverado 2500HD. Receiver sits up there nice and tight, so doesn't change ground clearances.
2002 Avalanche z71 8.1L 4x4 with cladding. Not a 30 minute job on my model, but certainly worth the extra time. Best price I could find. The front cladding had to be trimmed a bit, but this was an easy task with a multi-tool and wood saw bit. Also, the front support for the cladding, just below the front license plate had to be removed; the new hitch pretty much took its place so no big deal. A bottle jack help a whole bunch as it held the hitch in place as it as mounted. After the project was finished, the only part and/or modification visible was the receiver itself.
