Will Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Fit 1994 Ford F-150 with Sway Bar and Skid Plate

Updated 09/03/2014 | Published 09/02/2014

Question:

I have a 1994 Ford F-150 with the handling package front sway bar and the off road package which includes a front skid plate that is attached to the sway bar and the frame. I read here that this hitch will mount with the sway bar but am wondering if it will work with the skid plate as well. I have more photos but your site would only let me upload one. Thank you

It looks like several of your photos did come through. The hitch does fit with the sway bar on the front of your 1994 Ford F-150. The skid plate may have to be removed or possibly trimmed to install the Curt front mount hitch # 31026. The hitch has not specifically been tested on a model that has that skid plate. I have included a link to the right to the installation instructions for you to view.

The hitch has an overall width of 40.6 inches and from bolt hole to bolt hole it measures 36-3/4 inches on center. The center of the cross tube of the hitch is slightly forward of the center of the most forward attachment point on the vehicle.
