The bolt leader is included with Curt trailer hitch # C11286 for your 2014 Subaru XV Crosstrek. As for your second question I think you mean can the hitch be installed without a lift. Yes, it can, a lift makes it easier for sure, especially when filming installations (video linked for you). You might find it is easier to install if you jacked up the rear of the vehicle and put it on jack stands.

For ground clearance it will measure approximately 13-1/2 inches from the ground to the bottom of the hitch.
