Review on CURT 31078 2-Inch Front Receiver Hitch for Ford F-250, F-350, F-450 Super Duty: Enhance Your Truck's Towing Capacity! by David Flores

I just finished installing a Curt 31078 front receiver on my 2019 F-250 Lariat 4x4. Installation is easy, but doing it on my back in the driveway wasn't that fun. Especially trying to tighten all six bolts leaves little to no room to turn the torque wrench. Pulling small wires through the frame to the bottom bolts is also a problem as the open ends of the frame rails are mostly covered by the bumper structure in front of them. That being said I'm sure the installation will be a lot easier if the truck is on a lift. As others have pointed out, I used a jack to lift the hitch in place. do yourself a favor If you have a 4WD vehicle with a large plastic panel under the bumper, purchase the 2WD version of the panel and install that first. Ford part number for two wheel covers: HC3Z-17626-AD. The 2WD plating does not need to be cut to clean the receiver tube. The four-wheel drive is much shorter and looks much better in my opinion. In either case, you'll need to remove the Prius catchers from the frame rails to install the hitch, so you might as well install a 2WD fairing. There is approximately 11 inches of clearance between the bottom of the coupler tube and the ground. Since the hitch is low and recessed under the bumper, a 6" hitch is likely required. I tried the 6 inch lift hitch and it cleared everything up. I have attached some photos. I put one of those rubber flip-up covers for the clutch tubes on my clutch. I bought this cap from Revain.
