Question:

Hello. I want to put a 2.5” rear hitch reliever on my 2011 Ram 2500. I have a factory hitch that I am going to remove. Of the following three hitches, which will sit closest to the height of the stock hitch? Curt C15809 Curt C15704 Draw-Tight DT 45509 My guess is the C15704 judging by the pictures but it’s hard to tell. Thanks for your help.

While we haven't had the opportunity to install the Curt # C15809, Curt # C15704, and Draw-Tite # DT45509 hitches, from what I could see in the photos customers have sent in it looks like the Draw-Tite will actually sit right up next to the bumper on your 2011 Ram 2500.

The C15704 that you referenced has a little bit of a gap, and the C15809 looks to sit a little lower.. I don't have exact measurements on these or the OEM hitch on your Ram 2500 but I'm attaching a few pictures that you can look at.
