Ah yes, Buzzcart... I was thinking of you when I saw this thread, and remember when you posted about installing the Curt, but I had forgotten the brand of hitch that you installed. Glad you posted the reminder.
If front approach angle and ground clearance is a concern, I think that Curt hangs 2" lower than the Warn, as the Curt receiver is welded below the cross tube, and the Warn receiver is welded into the cross tube, which is a larger dimensioned tube in the pulling direction at 3" x 2.5".
On the other hand, the Curt appears to have more throat depth front to back in the receiver, so depending on the spare tire carrier you choose (or make), that might be useful as it sticks out further.
