Can Front Hitch Install at Same Time as EcoHitch Front Hitch for 2021 Ram 2500 Big Horn
Updated 09/02/2025 | Published 08/09/2025
Question:
Ram 2500 big horn, I have an after market front winch installed, will I still be able to bolt on the front hitch mount in addition to the winch? Worried that the winch probably uses the same frame brackets to mount?

Hey Shane, there's a really good chance you wouldn't be able to have your winch mount and the EcoHitch front hitch part # EH37FR installed at same time as they both most likely install on the same part of the truck frame at the front. If you check out the attached picture you can see this attaches to the outboard side of the frame so MAYBE there is a way if your winch only attaches to the inboard side but the hardware situation might get a little complicated as you might need longer hardware than what comes with both but it's hard to say.
I also attached a link to an install video for this hitch for you to check out as well.

Hey Shane, did you get a chance to see if the winch and the EcoHitch could both be installed on your Ram? I'm curious to know if you found a way to make it work, as it might help others facing a similar setup challenge.
