The height of the Draw-Tite Hitch # 75876 from the bottom of the receiver to the top of the mounting brackets is 10-11/16 inches. I attached a picture I made below to illustrate where it is measured. Ground clearance can vary from car to car due to suspension wear and other factors, so I hope this measurement helps you find the exact clearance for your own specific vehicle.

Along with your hitch, you can pick up the Draw-Tite Hitch Silencer and cover # 63080 to eliminate rattle when in use and to cover your hitch from dust and grime when not in use. If you're always installing/uninstalling hitch accessories like bike racks or cargo carriers, I like to get the etrailer Hitch Pin Alignment Collar # e98942 so I don't have to kneel down and check if my hitch pin holes are aligned.
