Is the Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Compatible with Westin E-Series Bull Bar on a 2008 Dodge Ram
Question:
Will this front receiver hitch fit a 2008 Dodge Ram with a Westin E Series Bull Bar?

Expert Reply:
It is sometimes possible to have both a Bull Bar and a front mount trailer hitch installed at the same time on a vehicle. The problem is that in the majority of vehicles, both parts require at least some of the same mounting locations so they would interfere with one another.
What you will need to do is take a look at the isntructions for the front mount hitch that I have linked to see where it mounts and compare that to the mounting locations used by the Bull Bar to determine compatibility. I have also included a link to a video showing a typical installation.
The hitch mounts to the bottom of the frame and the receiver is below the front bumper as you can see in the video. The Bull Bar appears to attach to the outside of the frame rails so there is a chance they can work together.
