Hey Mike, thanks for reaching out!
The Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver # C31063 will mount in the same location as the Westin Grille Guard on your 2011 Ford Ranger so they unfortunately can't be used together.
What you might try doing is seeing if a shop would be willing to help you fabricate a front hitch for your Ranger by using something like the Combo Bar 6" with 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver # E-9 for an alternative solution.
