I went out to the warehouse and pulled the Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver Skid Shield, # 6771, to take some measurements. From the center of the hitch pin hole to the nearest part of the skid plate measures 3-1/4 inches. From the center of the hitch pin hole to the top of the skid plate is 5-3/4 inches.

The overall width of the skid plate is 5 inches and the overall height is 4-1/4 inches.
