Who has a trailer hitch on the front end of there truck.How is the install? Does it work with aftermarket brush guards?

I put one on 1 year ago. If you have tow hooks, they stay and bolt in to them and on to the frame, I needed to open up 1 hole about 1/8 of an inch. Installs in about 45 min. As for the brush guard I think it must go. If you use it to move trailers w/ electric disk brakes you will need to make/install a plug for the frount of the truck. On the flat 5 plug on boat trailers the extra plug is for reverse brake lockout.
