Surprisingly the Bull Bar by Westin # 32-2275 would be compatible with the Front Hitch part # 31322 on your 2012 Chevy Silverado.

The hitch installs under the front of the vehicle and attaches to the outside of the frame rails and the Bull Bar installs by inserting into the frame rail and goes through the front fascia of the truck so they would both fit together.
