Question:
hi, looking to install this front hitch on a 2002 F250. information regarding factory fog light removal is what will make my decision on purchasing this particular part #. this is one of the few kits that does not state that factory fogs must be relocated and i am wondering if that is because they can remain in original location with the installation of the hitch. please respond with any info that can be helpful to me.

Expert Reply:
The 2002 F-250 has two different styles of front end configurations. If your front end has the blocker beam behind the front bumper and the leaf springs mounted on the inside of the frame rails then you would use the Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver, item # C31014, which will allow you to retain your factory fog lights.
If your truck does not have a blocker beam installed and the springs are mounted underneath the frame, from the factory then you could use the Draw-Tite Front Mounted Trailer Hitch Receiver, item # 65022, but with this configuration the factory fog lights must be removed.
