Hey Lee, I am assuming you are referring to a ground clearance figure. The etrailer hitch part # e98912 would reduce the ground clearance at the center of the rear of your vehicle by about 2 inches but on this vehicle normally the ground clearance is more like 12 inches with this hitch installed so maybe I am not understanding your question.
