No modifications necessary...

Got the front receiver hitch bolted up. DID NOT have to cut the front rabbit comb. It lifted up 3/8th" without a problem...

Took less than 15 minutes without a lift...

These things work great for cold storage heating, just fill up out of the red diesel barrel...

Stole the winch off of the gooseneck for the time being...

Great!!! Please post link or model of the front hitch. I had a Bodiak front receiver on my '04 F150, and I miss it. Most don't think about front hitches. Just incredible for manuevering a trailer into super-tight spots (yes yes I know about the GM trailer cam reverse guides, have yet to try it). I know a person who (stupidly) trailered down a very narrow road with ditches - maybe could have done a 12-point turn with rear hitch, but he switched to the front hitch and got trailer turned around 90deg, then hooked to rear hitch to pull out, avoiding cardiac arrest. He subsequently gave in to GPS.

BTW, 'scuse me, did you say you had a winch that slots into the gooseneck hole?

No, I stole my winch off of the gooseneck trailer in the background.
