Compatibility of Front Mounted Trailer Hitch and Brush Guard on 1998 Ram Pickup  

Question:

Expert Reply:

The Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - 2" # 31604 is not compatible with a brush guard or grill guard. The issue is the mounting location to the frame will be in the same exact place and they can't be "stacked" on top of each other.. The Aries Bull Bar with Removable Skid Plate # AAB35-5000 for example is a great fit for your truck but you can see the mounting locations in the attached installation instructions are identical to the front mounted trailer hitch so you will need to choose between the hitch receiver or the grille guard. I've linked the page to all of your options to assist.
