The Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver # 31432 has not been confirmed to fit with your Smittybilt XRC front bumper and based on your images along with others I could find it appears it would require modification to the bumper as well as the receiver to have everything fit properly. Since the Smittybilt is an upgraded bumper you may be able to weld a receiver to the bumper but be sure to discuss this with the manufacturer. We have the 2" Weld On Receiver # E17 you could use if they say the bumper is capable of supporting the amount of weight you are looking to use it for.
