It will fit. You just have to "encourage" it.
I have a factory hitch and skid that I mounted. If I remember correctly, the skid is sandwiched between the hitch and frame. I had to do some pounding, but I got it all up there.

just so others don't get scared...
My skidd and hitch mate with no interference problems. The hitch is a class IV, so I had to drill holes in the skid flange to accomodate the extra mounting of the hitch, otherwise, they were made for one another. BTW, what did you mount your tow hooks to back there?
