To install the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # 76128 on your 2017 Honda CR-V you don't absolutely need to lift it, but it will make the job significantly easier. The hitch at the receiver tube is only 13-1/4 inches off the ground, so that doesn't give you much room for a person and their tools especially when lowering the exhaust is required, but I'm sure it is possible. My recommendation is to use jack stands or ramps to give yourself a little more space to work.

I've attached an installation video to help.
