Recommended Front Mount Hitch For A 2006 Dodge Ram 3500 4x4
Question:
I’m looking for a front hitch to put a winch on. I’d like to see if you have one that fits where the tow hooks go. Thank you..

The front mount hitches we have available for your 2006 Dodge Ram 3500 (Curt # C31017 and Draw-Tite # 65046) will both mount under the bumper, which I have examples of in an included picture. With that said, we do not have an option that will mount up at the tow hooks, unfortunately.
Both of these hitches are rated to 9,000 pounds of line pull, but the Draw-Tite # 65046 is rated to 500 of tongue/vertical load, which will be higher than the Curt's 350 pound capacity. Between the two, I recommend the Draw-Tite due to this.
As a side note, if you do not have a mounting plate for the winch yet, I can also recommend the Curt Electric Winch Mount Plate # C31010. With the addition of the Winch Mount Handles # C31005, it will not only give you a good place to mount the winch, but will also be a lot easier to get installed in the hitch.
