I have attached a link to our front mount bolt-on hitches for 2008 Chevrolet Silerado 3500s for you.

Both the Curt Front Mount Hitch # 31109 and the Draw-Tite Front Mount Hitch # 65050 have a 2 x 2 inch hitch receiver, a line pull maximum of 9,000 pounds, a vertical load max of 500 pounds, and a gross trailer weight max of 5,000 pounds.

The Curt front mount hitch's receiver will sit just below the license plate on your vehicle. This hitch will provide an easier installation. I have attached an installation video of this front mount hitch on a 2008 Silerado for you.

The Draw-Tite front mount hitch requires that the license plate holder be removed, and a square cut in the front bumper to allow access to the hitch receiver. The Draw-Tite hitch will give you greater ground clearance. I have attached an installation video of this front mount hitch on a 2007 Silverado for you.

If you will need to relocate your license plate, I recommend the Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch License Plate Holder # C31002. This license plate holder will allow you to insert your license plate into your front mount hitch receiver when not towing other items.

Thanks for letting us know how the install of the Curt Hitch part #C31071 went on your 2015 Chevy Silverado 3500. Sometimes hitches can get slightly bent in shipping which can cause the clearances to be tighter than intended. I am not 100% that is…
