Snowplow Installation
Front or rear mount? Versatility is the SnowSport LT's middle name.
Installation is quick and simple - just slide the included shank assembly into your 2" hitch receiver and secure with pin.
Once the plow frame is connected, attach the blade by lifting one end at a time onto the frame's holders. The lightweight aluminum blade construction makes lifting or adjusting an easy, one-person job. Secure the blade in either the transport or plowing position with the plow's snap pins. The low-profile design won't block your headlights, and the transport position is secure enough for highway travel.
If using with a rear-mount receiver, simply lower the blade to plow position and back up as usual. For a front-mounted plow blade, just drive forward with the blade in the plow position. The unique design takes the hassle out of plowing: This device has no hydraulics or complicated wiring. The push frame on the shank assembly allows the blade to move along the grade of the terrain for easier, more efficient plowing. The heavy-duty rubber cutting edge is effective yet turf friendly, collecting snow and squeegeeing slush without digging into the ground.
When you are ready to reverse your driving direction, the blade lies back, skimming over the surface of the ground until you change direction again to plow.
Handy blade markers extend vertically from the ends of the plow to help you see where you are plowing.
With the SnowSport LT, plowing snow is as easy as backing out of your driveway. Once you are finished plowing, simply lift the blade, refasten it in the transport position and head off for work or errands.

Today on this 2008 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 Heavy Duty we are going to be installing front mount hitch part number 31109 from Curt. We are here looking at the passenger side frame rail. And you can see from the bottom we have got an existing bolt, an existing access hole, and then an existing regular sized hole as well. We are going to be fishing through the carried bolt block through this hole. We are going to pull it down into position using the fish wire that is provided with the installation kit. We are also going to be using this larger bolt here on the side of the frame. We are going to be removing it and replacing it with the new one that is provided in the installation kit. That is going to provide our vertical attachment point for the trailer hitch.
We are going to start by removing the nut here that is holding our bolt on to the tow hook and pop that out and put the new hardware in place. It may help to go ahead and loosen this bolt up as well on both sides. That will help to let us remove this hex bolt that is in the way here and give us a little bit of room to maneuver the tow hook up and out a little bit. Okay with the vertical bolt removed we can go ahead and fish our carriage bolt block into place. We are going to be using the 1/ 2 inch bolt leader that is provided with our installation kit. And feed it through the hole that we are going to be pulling the block and bolt down through and back out through the access hole. We will start by feeding the block on to the bolt leader and then wrapping the threads of the bolt with the bolt leader itself. Just pull it in through the hole. We can go ahead and put the hitch up.
We are going to be attaching these carriage bolts using the 1/ 2 inch flange nuts that were provided with the installation kit. Next we are going to go ahead and put into place the new 1/ 2 inch by 4 1/ 2 inch hex bolts. We also want to install the flat washer here. And we are going to take and feed from the outboard side through to the inboard side where we will attach it with another 1/ 2 inch nut. Now we are going to go back through and tighten everything down evenly. Now we are going to go back through and torque them down to their specified torque rating. You can find that torque rating listed in your directions. And that will conclude the installation of hitch part number 31109 on a 2008 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 Heavy Duty.

Aluminum blade stays in straight-ahead position, and makes plowing your driveway as easy as pulling forward or backing out. 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.It arrived in a timely manner and everything was there. But just like other reviews the packaging was weak and the receiver hitch was able to move around inside the oversize box, but thats was no big deal. Also like other reviews the bolts are too short. Tightened all the way down, the bolt is just a thread short of being flush with the nut. Which is disappointing to know after the reviews stating as such. I thought e-trailer would have rectified that. But it's on, and seems to be strong and good fit.
I have a trailer/boat storage business and use my front hitch often. It has made moving trailers a lot easier! I highly recommend this product!
I wish I had done it sooner! Makes Taking our bicycles a breeze, Kayaks on the back of our RV and the bikes on the front.
Package arrived in a timely manner. All parts were included and packaged well.
Have an 08 Chevy Silverado 2500 HD and instalation was a breeze. Instructions included were good but would suggest watching the vidio on the website also.
Bolted up with no problems in like 20 m inutes
The Curt front mount hitch attached easily, as advertised. We have now been able to travel with our bikes loaded on front and the slide-in camper on back. Plus, it arrived quickly enough to attach and use for our next planned camping adventure!

We think it is a great product and was easy to install. Our friends saw it and we recommended etrailer to them
Great Product!
Fast delivery
I was a little surprised with the snow plow. I thought it was going to be hydraulic/electric. It does okay, going on flat and slight declines. Inclines not so good. I also. Bought a rear trailer hitch. Very pleased with it.
Heavy duty and heavy, I had it installed by myself (with the help of a floor jack)in less than 30 minutes, love it. Now UPS, the shipper leaves a lot to be desired. Good thing the hitch was built great because the packaging was destroyed.

Yes I still think it is a great product, no I dont use it every day but when needed its there.
I bought this about an year ago for my 2009 Chevy Silverado to push 28 ft trailer. This thing saves my life every time when I need to push my trailer back to the back of the driveway. I have a narrow driveway and long too. In the past I will have to try many times to back in the trailer. Now with the front hitch the back in is much more easier. However I do find one thing that is not expected, the hitch is way too low that I am not able to use my flip folder jack foot, it does not have enough clearance to make it fully stand. I have to get a jack to lift the trailer in order to have the flip folder stand to support the trailer. But for the regular trailer jack is OK.
Curt's front mount hitch reveiver is resonably priced, stoutly made, and finished with what appears to be a solid shiney black powder coating. I especially like the fact that the receiver is positioned just below the front license plate so no modifications are needed to the front fascia, or removal of license plate to utilize. Hitch was shipped in a stout cardboard box, but not much internal padding. This seems to be Curt's standard method, as I also purchased a 34" hitch extension and was packaged similarly. The items are not likely to become damaged in shipping, but a lil more thought and effort could be put into their shipping methods. But for the value and quality you recieve that's a minor issue. Love Curt products!!!
Easy install took about 20 minuets. Good quality with all installation hardware needed included.
I have a 2008 Silverado. The Hitch was installed in less than an hour. The pair of bolts that are installed through the frame seem to be slightly short but remember this unit is installed in shear, meaning that the loads applied to this hitch are perpendicular to the bolt, so the nut just needs to hold the bolt in place. You still need to torque to german specs "good n tight" (haha). the bolt will come flush to the nut face. All in all a very simple clean install. Im using this for a Myers Home Plow, which also installed simply.
Very well built, good fit and finish and very sturdy. Installed in about 1/2-hour. The "square hole spacer" for the carriage bolt had to be fed through the front of the frame rail (past the tow hook) as it was ever so slightly wider than the hole underneath the frame rail where the instructions show it being fed. I agree that the hex bolts could be about 1/4" to 1/2" longer, but once tightened the bolt is flush with the end of the nut. I'm glad I purchased this as now I can use my 12,000 lb. winch (& winch cradle) on both the front and back of my 2007.5 Chevy 2500HD.
This Curt 31109 front hitch went on a 2009 GMC 2500 Sierra crew cab with a Duramax Diesel. Shipping was incredibly fast - just 1 day! The hitch appears well built and nicely finished - and it's made right here in the USA! It fit perfectly and was very easy to install. No trimming of bumper plastic was required. My wife and I are retired and we use this truck to pull a large 5th wheel trailer or carry a truck camper. We will transporting our bicycles on the front hitch. I should have done this earlier.
Install was quick and easy
Bolts that go through frame were 1/4”too short.
Works great!

Easy to install and works great
Everything went as lined out in the video. I would of liked to of had longer bolts to be able to use locknuts, but went ahead and used the supplied hardware. But everything went smoothly. The only other thing I could suggest is using a little bit longer plate for the carriage bolt, as the frame on my gmc 2500hd was wide enough for the carriage bolt and metal plate to spin. I was able to get it tight enough for it to quit spinning though and get the 110lbs of torque.
All in all a good product and it fits very well.
Item was as described and installed easily. The bolt that fits thru the frame that holds in the tow hook should be longer in my opinion as I think the bolt should always stick out the nut a certain amount. THe fit was great and the customer suoort is excellent.
Arrived in one piece, although the packaging could have been better. the box should have been fitted better to the hitch as the hitch had too much room to move around in the box with the box being damaged. Box needed tape to secure the holes punched in the side of the box.
Awesome hitch! Great quality and fast shipping! Will buy from this company again! Highly recommend!
Great quality, installation is very easy, cost is good. Definitely happy with this product and the service.
Received on time and able to install with ease after viewing the video, great product.
Very good product. Fast shipping.
product looks good but the other reviews that i read the two bolts are to short. I had to buy 5 inch bolts to get more than 3 threads tight. This would be an easy fix for you to do.
Easy to install works perfect on my gmc to haul small scooter

Fine, except I wish I would have ordered and installed the one that is higher off the ground. I didnt want to cut a hole in the front so I got the one that installed underneath. Its lower than Id like it to be. Ive bumped the ground a few times.
