Hey Mike,
Both the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BLU99FR and Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver # C87FR would be fighting for the same space on the frame rail where the tow hooks sit so they would not be compatible together. There isn't another custom-fit hitch but you could go with a weld-on adjustable-fit trailer hitch and work with a local fabricator shop to get it sitting right and welded to the frame rails. We offer a few different drop lengths that you can use as a rise or drop to get your receiver tube to stick out in the right position through the front fascia. This is a lot of custom work though so it would likely be a costly install unless you have some buddies that can help you out.
Here are the drop sizes we offer:
Draw-Tite
7" Drop # 41990-07
16" Drop # 41990-16
Curt
3" Drop # 15901
9" Drop # C47CR
10.865" Drop # 15902
11-1/2" Drop # 15903
18" Drop # C99CR
While you have the fascia off to install the baseplate I would start measuring for the hitch and see what could be in the way/start figuring out where you'd like the receiver tube to stick through.

Thank you Kevin. I’ll have a Curt C87FR that I will most likely need to return to ETrailer, just purchased and received. The RV shop that is going to pro install the tow bar kit wants to look ar it first. The list of possible weld on drops is much appreciated. Mike P
