From the center of the hitch pin hole to the uppermost edge of the bumper isapproximately seven inches. From the top of the opening in the receiver to the ground is approximately elevenand three-quarter inches. Now, let's go ahead and install our hitch. Now, to begin with, we need to look on our underside of the frame railsand make sure that there's no weld splatter or anything else that will cause the frame not to be level. If there is any, which in our case we have a couple spots on each side, we'll go ahead and use our grinding wheelhereto remove any weldsplatter, to make sure that the hitch sitsflat against the frame.
