Front hitch anyone?

[Scouser]

Does anyone know if/where I can get a front hitch for my 2019 Ram 1500 Rebel?

It has the new front end and I’m having trouble finding one so I can my get my plow attached soon

Unfortunately neither of them fit the Rebel

Could always go custom. I'm just now looking into adding one but I want it to be in the center of the bumper trim. Then a winch hitch mount or beach rod holder, maybe bike rack could mount up.

start of a solid base? a little cross bracing an a bolt on front reciever tube..

What do you plan on doing with the hitch? I am doing something custom, I am using a set of frontier brush guard mounting brackets.

Mainly for a winch mount. Then i'll wire it up to work from front or rear.

I think it will fit a rebel if you remove the tow hooks..because It looks like it bolts to location where the tow hooks go.

Here's my go at a front hitch. It seems most over the counter come out low under bumper. I figure for winch hitch in line with the frame is stronger an gain some clearance. No engineer but hopefully this unit is 12000lbs tough. Still pondering tow hooks some how. But this is ready to paint an bolt on.

Looking good! Are you planning to do a load test before bolting it to the truck?

Not a bad idea. Using the winch as the tugger just not sure what i could bolt it to as the load. I have ways at work but you know how that goes..

Man the little trim grill is a pain to bolt back in. But all painted an installed. Next to make the winch plate an plug connects so I can test it before I need it in a pinch. My initial load test was my truck a tree an shackled/slings. Uneventfull but did make me feel good about my welds.

That’s fantastic up high like that. Great job.

All mounted up. Definitely like it up off the ground. Always had to worry with my last truck on the rough roads. Now just need a nice lift kit an skid plates.
