Will Demco Base Plates Fit 2018 Ram 3500 With Draw-Tite Front Mount Hitch
Question:
I have a DrawTite front receiver, is there enough clearance on the inboard edges to mount the Demco Baseplates overtop the receiver mounting plates? Basically remove the Tow Hooks and mount the Demcos over the receiver plates.

I took a look at the directions of the Draw-Tite Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver 65063 and the Demco Classic Base Plate Kit # DM9518134 that fit your 2018 Ram 3500, and from everything I could see, the base plates and hitch will interfere with each other. The installation of the base plates will only work on a truck without a front mount hitch.
So you would need to remove the front hitch on your 2018 Ram 3500 in order to install the Demco Classic Base Plate Kit # DM9518134.
