Expert Reply:
The Curt Front Hitch, # 33055, on a 1999 Ford Van does not require any cutting of the front valance (air dam), but you do need to remove the front valance from the bumper.
Also, the two front holes in the frame rails need to be enlarged. Then, you will use the fishwire (included) to install the 4 bolts and spacers into the holes in the frame. Then, you just need to attach the hitch to those bolts and torque to 75 ft. lbs.
I am sending a video link that will show you how to use the fishwire to install the bolts in your frame.
