front hitch recommendations for 98 EXP

I'm looking for recommendations for a front hitch for my 98 EXP 4x4. It should have good ground clearance to run along the east coast beaches and I plan to have a cargo carrier on the front for my fishing gear. There should be little or no welding required for installation. Thanks in advance

I have a hitch made by Hidden Hitch that comes out where the licence plate mounts through the bumper. It is all bolt on and does not affect ground clearance at all. If you need the licence plate they sell the bracket to mount it on. I got it from JC Whitney for about $100.

I bought a front 2 inch reciever for my "03". It just slips over the tow hooks. I never used the hooks anyway. It looks nice almost like a factory job. Got it from Bodiak https://bodiaknet.secure.powweb.com/store/catalog/
