We have front hitches that will fit your 2007 Jeep Wrangler, like the recommended Draw-Tite # 65069, but these are designed to fit with the standard factory bumper. Since you have an aftermarket bumper you will need to check out the linked installation instructions to try to determine if this will fit with your bumper or not. If it won't then the only way for you to get a front mount hitch on your Wrangler is to have one fabricated.
According to SnowBear the max height a hitch receiver can be to use their plows, like the SnowBear Personal Snowplow # SB324-081 you're looking at, is 14". If the bottom of your hitch receiver is higher than that then you also need the Drop Extension Kit # SB324-128 which gives you a 3" drop.
Unfortunately there aren't any front mount hitches that fit your 2011 Ford Escape.
