Honda list the ground clearance of the 2020 Honda CR-V all wheel drive trims at 8.2" and the front wheel drive trims at 7.8".
It is really hard to recommend a ball mount rise height without knowing the coupler height for the trailer. It is important to remember when calculating rise or drop this is done based on the measurement to the inside top of the receiver. This should be around 13-1/2" based for an AWD CR-V with the Draw-Tite Receiver # 76128 we installed it on in our shop. I like to see the ball mount about 1/2" to 1" higher than trailer coupler with the trailer level. This will help to keep the trailer level with the weight of the trailer causing your suspension to sag. If you can let me know the height to the bottom of your trailer coupler I can help you find the best ball mount.
A 4" Rise Ball Mount # C45070 would be best for a trailer coupler 18" to 18-1/2" tall. A more common coupler height is around 14"-16" tall. This would lead you more towards a 1" # C45310 or 3" # C45313 rise ball mount.
