I do have a solution for you to install a front hitch on your 2003 Ford F-350 that will lead the OEM fog lights in tact, but you will need to confirm that your truck has the blocker beam behind the bumper (only found on 4wd versions of this truck, so it's likely there). I recommend using the Curt # C31014 which has the 500-lbs tongue weight capacity you're seeking and will allow you to maneuver your enclosed trailer around the yard easily.

I have attached an installation video of this hitch for you to have a look at, that was done on a similar truck and you can use as a guide when installing this yourself.
