I spoke with my contact at CURT regarding the front mount trailer hitch, # 31049. He did not have any pictures he could send to me of the hitch installed. However, You can determine where the receiver will be based on some measurements.
This trailer hitch mounts to the bottom of the frame rails on the vehicle. The receiver is above the mounting points. If you measure up from the bottom of the frame 9.66 inches, that is where the top of the receiver will be in the center of the vehicle. I have included a link to the installation details for reference.
