Default Front receiver hitch

Does anybody have a front mounted receiver on their truck?? I want to put one on mine (2wd) and I was hoping somebody had any advice or reviews. Seeing as they arent cheap I was wondering if anybody had any preferance as far as brands and fitment go.

Thanks for any feedback, Mr. Breeze

I think most of us have cheaped out and built our own, are you thinking of one for a winch mount or for steering trailers into odd places?

I just mounted a curt front receiver on my 94 f150. I like it but it sits a little low for my tastes
