Anyone have a front mounted hitch using a stock bumper?
OR
What about a hitch on the rear using a stock bumper with main rear tank?

I need to see some pictures....

I had a front mounted receiver on my old bumper. It wasn't the stock bumper but you could do something similar to this one if you reinforced the back side of a stock bumper. This one worked well and it didn't create any approach angle issues.

My farm rig has the stock rear bumper hitch on the front, great for pushing hay wagons in the barn.

The factory had a small bolt on, it was a tongue that stuck out and accepted a ball. As far as hidden, I think Duff's is about all you will find.

james duff sells a reciever that bolts inside the frame horns that you can use with the stock bumpers, front or rear.
