Distance from Front Bolt Hole to Face of Receiver for Front Mount Hitch 65049
Question:
I have a 2009 F350 Superduty with a Ranch Hand grill guard. The bolt pattern is compatible, but Im wondering if the receiver will hit the lower crossbar on the grill guard. Measuring the from the bolt holes to the top of the receiver would confirm it for me. Thanks

I went out to the warehouse to measure the front mount receiver # 65049 for you. From the center of the forward most bolt hole to the face of the receiver is 5-3/4 inches. But that is only one piece of the puzzle. If your grille guard uses the same mounting locations then you can have the grille guard or the hitch but not both since both are designed to make contact directly with the frame.
