I don't know if you've seen the aftermarket hitches from Drawtite, but I just put one on my base model '07. It looks super clean, I think cleaner than factory. The way it mounts is with existing frame bolts and the only part you can see that is not hidden by the bumper is the actual 2" receiver block. I've towed my boat 3 times now and it works great, the nice thing is you don't need the drop. If you're running 35's you've hardly decreased your departure angle from stock--that's the way I look at it.
