Default Front Hitch - Anyone have one or a pic?

.
Looking to add on front recovery points, and would like to go with the front hitch option, but would like to see one installed first. I did one of my Cherokee, and like it alot more than tow hooks. Here's a link to the Drawtitw model I'd be considering.

Guess I'll be the first one, since no one else seems to have one. Once we get it, and it's installed, I'll be sure to post up pics.

I went from tow hooks to a front hitch on my Jeep, and love the difference. No brackets to bend. Just a nice centered stronger recovery point.

Wow does your truck tip over to the front when you hit the brakes? Id love to have a bumper like that. What kind of lift do you have on there?

give your mods please

front spacers is all I have in the front and add a leaf in the back. It will nosedive a little if you hit the brakes too hard. The bumper doesnt weigh what it looks like it does, 2 people can pick it up and put it on the truck. I expect front wear eventually and plan on putting 3/4 ton springs on the front.

Okay guys... let's try this again, without the bumper hijack. Looking for a good pic of a 2nd gen Ram with a front hitch installed. Preferably with the stock bumper still. Thanks.
