Are Mounting Holes of Curt Hitch 15300 the Same as 15511 for 1996 Ford F-250 and F-350

Question

Question:

If I currently have a C15300 on my 96 f350 and I got a deep bumper now. If I get the C15511 will I need to drill new holes or can it bolt right up. Do you know the hole distance on the two hitches.

The mounting holes are going to be slightly different for the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C15300 that fits a standard or step bumper on a 1996 Ford F-250 or F-350 compared to the Curt 3-Piece Trailer Hitch Receiver # C15511 that fits the same truck with a deep drop bumper.

So due to that it seems you will need to drill new holes for installation of the Curt 3-Piece Trailer Hitch Receiver # C15511.

I have added a link below to the installation instructions if you'd like to check those out.
