The hitch mounted winch mounting plate we offer that will work with the Bulldog Winch Standard Series Winch, part # BDW10043 is part # BDW20011.

This mounting plate will work with 2 inch trailer hitch receiver openings. This mounting plate has handles that makes it easier to insert and remove from the hitch.

I am not aware of a 3-inch receiver on a front hitch. I'm guessing you have a 2 inch hitch and you're measuring the outside of the receiver when you should measure the inside.
