Question:

Will this product fit on my 2002 GMC Sierra 2500HD w/ a 6 1/2foot bed? Also, can you tell me the measurements from the mounting flanges to the top of the crossbar? I have an aftermarket Ranch Hand-style bumper with a deeper so I need at least a 5inch on the hitch in order for it to clear the bottom of my bumper.

For a 2002 GMC Sierra 2500 HD, you'd want to use the Curt Class V hitch, part # C15703. I checked with Curt, and found that the drop of this hitch (measurement from the mounting flange to the top of the crossbar) is 5.13 inches, as shown in the photo I've provided. The # C15703 has a 2-1/2 by 2-1/2 receiver opening.

According to Curt, their # C15323 Class V hitch you had asked about isn't a fit for the 2002 Sierra 2500 HD model, it's only a fit for the 1500 and the 2500 LD model.

If you click the provided link, you can see a video showing the # C15703 being installed on a 2002 Chevy Silverado.
