The 2 inch receiver for the EcoHitch Hidden Front Mount Trailer Hitch # 306-X7900 referenced in your question will actually protrude through the grille of your truck. This allows for a really clean appearance while also maintaining your existing ground clearance. I have attached an image of the hitch installed that you can take a look at as well. If present the factory tow hooks will need to be removed during installation.

This front mount hitch features a 7500 pound line pull rating and a vertical load limit of 750 pounds. It is made right here in the USA.
