The EcoHitch # 306-X7284 has an installed height of 12 inches to the top of the receiver. With this being a 2 inch receiver, the bottom of the receiver would be slightly under 10 inches. The lip around the outside of the receiver opening is roughly a 1/2 inch, so you would be looking at 9 1/2 inches for total ground clearance.
