I'm not 100 percent certain about the exact measurement you are looking for; is it the vertical measurement of the bolt hole on the frame brackets to the hitch tube itself or the horizontal measurement from the bolt hole to the rear of the hitch tube?

I went out to the warehouse to measure Draw-Tite hitch # DT45517 and found that it was 6" from the hole at the front to the bottom of the bracket (the rail); the bracket itself measured 1/4" thick. Some other measurements I took for you - from the bottom of the bracket to the top was 7", the width of the bottom bracket was 1", and the width of the top of the bracket was 2-1/2". This is a Class V hitch with a 2-1/2" receiver that has a tongue weight capacity of 1,300 lbs and towing capacity of 13,000 lbs.
