The most economically priced front mount hitch for your 1997 Chevy 1500 4x4 that we carry is the Draw-Tite Hitch # 65005.

There are too many variables to determine if this Curt #31042 hitch might work with your Iron 22-515-88 base bumper with bull bar, and your suspension upgrades. This hitch is designed to work with the stock bumper and come out just below the bumper.…
