A CURT front trailer hitch allows you to use the front end of your vehicle for a variety of towing applications. They can be used for mounting a winch, a snow plow, a number of towing accessories and can even be used for some trailering applications. When space is limited, a front trailer hitch is commonly used to hold a cargo carrier, freeing up space inside the vehicle for extra cargo and making the rear mount receiver available to pull a trailer. At the boat ramp, your boat trailer can be hitched up to the front receiver hitch, giving you better control over the trailer as you launch. Some of the other accessories that can be used with a front tow hitch are the CURT winch mount, step pad, license plate holder, spare tire mount, skid shield and tow hooks. All CURT front trailer hitches provide a useful receiver tube to accept a 2" x 2" shank, and they are commonly used on trucks, vans and SUVs. This front trailer hitch is rated for 3,500 lbs. GTW and 350 lbs. TW. It also has a straight-line pull rating of 9,000 lbs. It is designed to be a custom trailer hitch for certain years of the Jeep Liberty (to verify your vehicle compatibility, see application info). It comes with all necessary hardware for a complete installation and is backed by a limited lifetime warranty.

The CURT 31022 2-Inch Front Receiver Hitch, Select Jeep Liberty (Part #BKDK31022) Drilling is required for installation. Typical installation time is 30-60 minutes. Basic hand tools are typically all you need.
Yes, CURT part number 31022 is designed for 2002-07 Jeep Liberty 4X4 models. Before purchasing, confirm your vehicle year and model match this range and that it is a 4X4 configuration.
When used as a straight line pull, the gross load capacity is 9,000 lbs maximum. The hitch is rated for a maximum trailer weight of 3,500 lbs and tongue weight of 350 lbs when used as a weight carrying hitch. However, you must never exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity, which may be lower than these ratings.
The hitch weight is 60 lbs.
The installation is rated as 'challenging' difficulty. The manual states that if you are hesitant to undertake this task on your own, you should contact an authorized CURT installer for additional assistance. Two people may be required to ease installation. A professional installation takes approximately 33 minutes, while a novice DIY installation takes approximately 60 minutes.
Required tools include: power drill, 1/2" drill bit, die grinder, aviation shears, ratchet, 10" extension, torque wrench, 11/16" boxed end wrench, 11/16" socket, and 10mm socket. Using proper tools will greatly improve the quality of the install and reduce installation time.
The hitch includes: 6 square hole spacers (CM-SP11, 0.250 x 1.00 x 2.50"), 6 carriage bolts (7/16-14 UNC, 1-1/2", grade 8, part 10-10282), 2 pieces of 7/16" fishwire, and 6 serrated flange nuts (7/16-14 UNC, grade 8, part 20-00103).
Yes, air dam removal is required. The air dam is secured with 5 rivet type fasteners and 2 screws. You will have to cut off the rivet type fasteners. The air dam should be removed and returned to the owner. The 2 screws are reinstalled in step 8 to secure the bumper cover to the radiator support bracket.
Yes, drilling is required. You must drill holes marked in step 3 after raising the hitch into position and aligning it with existing frame rail holes. You must also enlarge the drill hole in the passenger side frame rail to allow 7/16" carriage bolts and SP11 spacers to pass through. If an existing access hole is not present in the driver side frame rail, you must enlarge that drill hole as well.
Yes, you must mark and trim the plastic wheel well. The trim detail shows approximately 1.50 inches of trimming on both sides of the plastic wheel well. The manual notes that dimensions are approximate, so you should confirm fit before trimming.
All 7/16" hardware must be torqued to 59 ft-lbs. This includes the carriage bolts and flange nuts.
The manual references a fishwire technique in steps 5 and 6 but does not provide detailed instructions for this technique in the provided pages. You must fishwire 7/16-14 x 1 1/2" carriage bolts and SP11 spacers through the access holes and out the frame rail holes, then reverse fishwire them into the drilled access holes. For detailed fishwire technique instructions, contact CURT technical support at 877-287-8634 or visit www.curtmfg.com.
Periodically check the receiver hitch to ensure all fasteners are tight and all structural components are sound. This ongoing inspection helps maintain safe operation and proper hitch function.
You must not exceed your vehicle's front axle Gross Weight Rating (GAWR). Consult your owner's manual or the specification plate located on the driver's door frame. Measure gross front axle weight by placing the front wheels of your loaded vehicle on a scale. Exceeding GAWR may overload the front axle and/or suspension, which could result in accident, property damage, and personal injury.
No. You must use OEM tow hooks, recovery eyes, or a clevis mount for attachment of a tow strap or winch cable. Never use a ball and/or ball mount as an anchor point for tow strap or winch cable, as severe personal injury or death could result.
For maximum line pull rating, the winch cable must not exceed 15 degrees angle up or down from horizontal, and 45 degrees angle left or right from straight ahead. Exceeding these angles may overload the winch, winch mount, and/or front mounted receiver.
Attach the return cable to the tow hook or recovery eye when using a snatch block. Do not attach the return cable to the winch mount, as this may overload the winch mount and/or front mounted receiver.
Safety glasses should be worn at all times while installing this product. Read all instructions thoroughly before beginning installation. If you are hesitant to undertake this task on your own, contact an authorized CURT installer for additional assistance.
