Try a Draw-Tite 65022. I have one on my truck and its fine. If you do a web search, you can find places that offer free shipping also.

I presume you do not have the two hitches in the front from the factory? Or, is there something wrong with the factory front hitches?

He's looking for a front receiver hitch. I don't think he is talking about the two tow hooks.

I replaced my two front tow eyes, why would I need 'em? A SD doesn't get stuck, does it?
I replaced them with receivers from
LEED Engineering, LLC. - Innovative Automotive & ATV Receiver Hitches
They cost $80 each when I bought them. I use 'em for a large cooler rack.
Only thing you need to do is pivot the bumper down to get to the bolts.
I looked on their site and couldn't find them, might need to shoot 'em an email. I would hope they still sell them.

I get so mixed up anymore with my northern jargon life, and my last 15 year southern life. Thanks for straightening me out.

I have the single Bodiak that bolts on to either tow hook.
I keep it behind the back seat unless I need to park a trailer.
Well worth the price.
