Hey Charles, thanks for reaching out!
Yes, you can technically use a universal hitch like the Draw-Tite # 41990-07 to add a front hitch to your 2006 Dodge Sprinter. You'll have to have a shop basically hack up the metal and make it to fit wherever they're able to.
You can try using a universal hitch like this, but it also might be worth see if said shop already has a solution for modifying hitches for vehicles that don't already have one like your situation.
