Question on these front end brackets
Attempting to install front receiver on 19 F350. These brackets interfere. Are we able to remove?

It's your truck. Grab a torch and take them off if you want.

I believe they are there to keep the truck from going over another vehicle in an accident. Your new front receiver hitch will do the same job if you even care about such a function.

"Prius Catchers" are bolted on, but I'm all for the torch method.
