front hitch receiver

I just got one of those Snowsport plows and I need a front hitch receiver to mount it to.

I would like to get one that would mount to where the tow hooks are mounted, but I cant seem to find anything like that. All of the other front receivers are too low and cut down on clearance. I did some searching on here, but the company(forgot name, starts with a "B") seems to be out of business.

Does anybody have any suggestions?? I may just custom make one if thats what I have to do.

Well, got the plow together and found that my truck is too high to mount it the way I wanted. Went with a HiddenHitch brand that drops the receiver hole down considerably.

For anyone else looking, Bodick is what you are thinking of.. and I never liked their design, it blocks too much of the lower radiator opening (like all of it).

I have a draw-tite and it is, or was low (under the OEM valance). My dad has a Warn and it's not too low (in the valance).

IMHO the draw-tite has a stronger mount than the warn, so instead of changing I had my draw-tite modified to raise the receiver 2", to be in the valence. It's amazing how much more clearance 2" provides.

Looking at etrailer.com the Curt and Warn look identical. I still like the Draw-Tite mounting better.

I do believe that Draw-Tite and HiddenHitch are one in the same, like Chevrolet and GMC.
