So, figured id put it here since its a hitch question. I installed a Front mounted hitch on my Ram. I installed it to hold a bike carrier when I am hauling a camper. For the life of me, I cant think of another reason to use it.
My question: The one I bought, a Curt 31374 has these 2 loops welded on I'm assuming for straps or something. Id like to remove them, pretty sure they aren't part of the structural integrity of the hitch itself but wanted to get opinions anyways. My plan was to cut them off and obviously paint where the bare metal was.
This is simply for looks. The hitch is mounted nice and tight and is barely noticeable, but with the added giant loops, it stands out. Since I only use it for the bike rack, don't see the harm.
