i'd reccomend to just get a trailer hitch. best way to go, and if u bottom out, that will save you from bumper/body damage.

When I got stuck at our farm in mud think as molasses in March I didn't have anything to pull from but my trailer ball, hooked up the chain and I thought my bumper was going to bend like a Twizler, luckily it barely held in. Good thing I'm building a hidden hitch type thing in welding, 3/8" walls with 2.5" square with 1/4" sides, that should hold up well, I just hope my welds will!

Get a class 3 reese or hidden hitch. drawtite is fine too.
should be about 120$ to your door at the most.
For the front.. the depends on your crossmember, lack of crossmember, and holes in the crossmember.
I suspose you could get a front mount hitch also but most likely there are easier and cheaper ways for front tow hooks..
just be aware 97 is totally different from 2001+
