Drawtite front receiver?

[brianjwilson]

Does anyone have pictures of a drawtite (or any other manufacturer) front receiver installed on a sport trac? I'd like to see how/where exactly it mounts to get an idea what it would look like (unmodified) with a body lift. Or how easily it would be modified to fit with the body lift. I'm having a hard time finding someone locally to make something for me.

I'd love to put one on mine, but I've had the front plate bracket since purchase. I can only speculate that the paint underneath looks like hell. Thus, the plate mount hides that.

Thanks for the response!
Maybe I'll just keep my eyes on craigslist for used hitches and keep search for a metal shop to fab some brackets... Bah. Wish I had a little more free time.
You could always get a license plate bracket that sits in the 2" receiver, might cover up any ugly paint. I'm sure the paint would clean up okay with the right cleaner.
