Easily attach a variety of accessories to the front of your vehicle with this fully welded, corrosion-resistant trailer hitch receiver. Perfect for winches, spare tire carriers and more.Fit was tight but with a floor jack I was able to install. Looks like it will work well for me. The bolt guide wires were critical to installation. Very good construction of the hitch.
After correcting a mistake and taking another receiver back at their expense, etrailer shipped me the correct hitch for my 2017 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon Recon. If your Wrangler has the steel Hard Rock / Anniversary Edition bumper in the attached pictures, this is the right receiver. It's very well made and has a much better paint job than the Draw Tite that didn't fit my Jeep. The tolerances are VERY tight, so much so that I had to hammer it into place with a block of wood. The supplied fishwires made getting the carriage bolts and spacers in place a breeze. Unfortunately, you will have to remove the steel skid plate that's attached to the bumper. I thought it might be possible to cut it around the hitch and put it back, but it doesn't look there's enough clearance. Great service from etrailer!
Directions were clear and concise, however the side brackets were slightly narrower than the vehicle frame and it needed a fair amount of convincing to slide up and over into place. Furthermore the driver side superior bracket hole was offset just enough not to allow the bolt to pass through the frame. The hole in the frame had to be slightly enlarged. Otherwise it looks great!!
this is the only hictch i have found that is not custom made that will work with my aev bumper that is on my jk. fits perfect and i can still put a winch in my bumper. you will need a hammer to get it in place though it tight. it does hang down a bit low so you will loose some ground cleance, the aev and the skid plate had to be removed but it will be fine. i needed a way to carry cooler and fishing rods this will work great.
Great fit went on in 30 minutes. can confirm it will fit with the Warn winch bumper.
By moving the secondary mounting bolts from the factory bumper to the front frame crossbar this front mount version for Jeep JK allows for the installation of many aftermarket bumpers, which will be my next project. These Curt mounts are super solid. I have had one on my '98 Cherokee for the last 6 years for plowing snow. The mount is fine but the Cherokee is tired. ;-)
My install took 30 mins.
your service and speed of delivery were great. now i have to put it on and see how it fits. on the down side the hitch was not packed very well and the paint was cracked off in several places. i will have to use touch-up paint so it doesn't rust. its going to be under the jeep so i won't really see it, its not worth the hassle sending it back because i want to use it this weekend. your phone staff was very nice.
By the way, are tongue weight and vertical weight different measurements??
Great fit Well made
Bolted right on but a little tight. A big hammer did the trick. Once again a nice hitch. Now I have on front and back of my jeep JK.
The part bolted right in, took about 20 minutes to complete. My second product bought, and a great company to work with.
Looks great. Well made. Installed in under 30 min.
Strong work,

Essentially, theyre the same thing. Tongue weight and vertical load limit represent the maximum amount of downward force that can be applied to the receiver tube.
