CURT 31302 2-Inch Front Receiver Hitch, Select Cadillac, Chevrolet, GMC Trucks, SUVs

The media could not be loaded. Installed on my 2004 Suburban 4wd. Super nice unit, top notch quality welds and overall finish.You'll lose your tow hooks, but the bolt holes could probably be drilled out for the hitch bolts to drop through... that or get different bolts at the hardware store.Bottom fascia rests on top of the hitch. I'm not going to modify mine ultra I have to. There's no pressure on it at this time so it shouldn't crack, it's pretty plyable.I'm super happy with it. Took about 45 minutes to install by myself.It came with all grade 8 hardware.I used a 18mm to remove tow hook bolts and needed a 3/4 wrench and socket to reinstall supplied hardware. Torqued to 110ft lbs per instructions.

This is a nice well built hitch. Installation took about 20 minutes by myself. It attaches with (2) supplied carriage bolts fished through existing holes in the frame and the original lower tow hook bolts. Tow hooks remain after installation.I couldn't find any reviews for how it would look in a Yukon Denali bumper but as you can see it fits perfectly between the existing tow hooks when flipped. You can leave the lower grill out completely or cut a small square in the middle like I did to give it more of a factory appearance.

Installed on my 2003 Chevrolet Avalanche very easy to install. I have to cut 2 small slits under the plastic bumper for the brackets. It tucks in very nice, I bought an extention tube to move the hitch and back rack farther from the bumper.

Bought this for a 2005 suburban stock 2wd. Initially installed it with just the cut-out for the receiver hole. After about a month the plastic started to deform on either side where the bar mounts to the mounting brackets that attach to the vehicle. The pic where the lower shroud and the actual bumper come together show what I had to do to make it stop deforming. It wasn't noticeable from outside, but it is extra work that had to be done to preserve the bumper and shroud. Next, if you have it mounted like the pic shows, you aren't gonna have much ground clearance. I installed the intended way originally and kept bottoming out. I ultimately became scared to take anything that looked potentially too bumpy for fear of bottoming it out, making an unforgiving "thud". So I inverted it and cut a hole in the upper bumper and threw away the bottom shroud. I had to move the license plate up a couple inches, but it looks pretty good and it actually has enough clearance now to not hit the ground. The pic also shows the tow hooks that are generally stock on the 4wd models. I installed these previously on my 2wd and had to drill out the threads on them to accomodate the hitch bolts. It was easy since they are a soft metal. If you have a drill press or manly hands on a hand-held drill, it won't be a problem. If you want to keep the tow hooks you're gonna have to do this. They do go back on tight. The hitch itself is bulletproof. I initially had reservations with a bar that bolts onto mounting brackets, but this makes it possible to invert the mount, where the Reese and Drawtite models can't be inverted. So I would recommend this. Chances are that if you're buying it, you're not too concerned about having to do the things mentioned in this review.2/7/17 update: Bought this primarily to put a bike rack on the front. If your intention for this is bikes, consider if you will have enough ground clearance once bikes are on, how high the seats and handlebars will be once mounted, and if headlights will reflect off the chrome rims. I had issues with all three of these things. Resolved the first two with creativity, but the reflection in the dark was too much. If you're trying to balance a trailer by not having so much weight on the rear, consider the above issues before jumping in. Again, the receiver is great, but other logistics got in the way of my plans.

The hitch manufacture quality is excellent. Perfect fit on a 2002 Tahoe Z71 - installed in minutes; took longer to unpack and get out the tools than to install in the 'lower' position. The hitch uses two oem bolts that go thru the tow hooks on the Z71; you may want to get longer bolts at the tow hooks. The tow hook bolts are metric and are 'grade' bolts - they were a little hard to find. Installed in the 'lower' position the receiver fits tight up against the bottom edge of the plastic air damn no cutting needed. Installed in the lower position it does not reduce the Z71 ground clearance, the bottom of the receiver is higher than the Z71 skid plates; however the Z71 approach angle is significantly reduced. Installed in the 'upper' position the receiver is a couple inches below the steel bumper and the bottom edge just touches the inside of the air damn without cutting a hole in the damn. I installed it in the 'upper' position then cut a small 2-inch square hole in the damn where I can insert the hitch tube; you can reach the receiver pin hole by reaching up under the air damn. This is a little inconvenient, but I will rarely use the front hitch - mainly for a winch. I made a receiver insert with an angled end plate, painted grey, to cover the hitch hole in the air damn. Overall a pleasing installation.

Works well for my 2005 Chevy Tahoe. Came with an extra two bolts for if you don’t have toe hooks. Good product!
