Question:
Good morning, I purchased and installed two of these on my two 2006 dodge ram 2500 crew cabs and I absolutely love them. Is there anyway to also attach any sort of bull bar or brush guard. Thank you.

Hey Dawn, unfortunately bull bars like the Aries Bull Bar with Removable Skid Plate # AAB35-5006 use the same mounting holes that the Draw-Tite Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver # 65046 so you'd need to pick between the two.

Hey Dawn, were you able to decide between keeping the front hitch or switching to a bull bar for your Ram trucks? Knowing what setup you went with could help others trying to balance both options.
