How Far Out From Front Bumper Does Draw Tite Hitch # 65078 Stick Out on 2017 Chevy Silverado 3500

Question

Question:

What is the bumper clearance from the pin hole of the Draw-Tite Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - 2inch Item # 65078 specifically on a 2017 Chevy Silverado 2500HD? The video for the Curt C31071 front hitch shows a bumper clearance dimension 8, but the Draw-Tite only shows the height, not the bumper clearance dimension.

The Draw Tite Front hitch part # 65078 actually sticks out 2 inches past the front bumper of a 2017 Chevy Silverado 2500 like you have. I attached a picture I took from a different install video for this hitch (also attached) that shows this.
