Front Mount Hitch Reciever

[flyinEXPLORER]

I have a 98 Ford Explorer 2dr Sport and I am looking for a front hitch mount so I can put a winch on the front or switch it to the back, but I can't seem to find one for this model?!? Any direction in where I can find one?
Thanks tons!!

Here's another one on amazon, about $30 less expensive

Looking over the instructions on the one linked by Electro, looks like it might be the nicer one. The amazon one looks like it might be below the airdam. The jcwhitney one looks like it comes through the airdam(with a little cutting)

the JC whitney one is for 99+ so lower years might have to drill some holes and make a few modification, but it should work

Personally I wouldn't want my winch mount that low. Mine is mounted between the frame rails. Almost too low sometimes.

I have a Curt hitch for the front, its for a 99, but if you just remove the plastic valance and notch the bottom of the bumper it fits fine.
