I have a solution for you that would work well. But the Curt hitch part # C15845 that you referenced has a distance of 5-1/2 inches from the mounting flange down to the hitch opening.

If you have a 34 inch wide frame you would want the Draw Tite Hitch part # 41947. This hitch has an adjustable cross tube height that should work very well for you.

Answer 1

34 inch wide frames are pretty common for cab and chassis vehicles. For a hitch that fits that dimension we have the #C15800 which sits down 7 inches from where it attaches to the truck frame. This would be the best option we have.

Answer 6

The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver #C15800 that you referenced is designed for 34 inch wide trailer frames like what are on cab and chassis trucks. So the distance on the frame of the vehicle would need to be 34 inches measured from outside to outside.
