Distance from Mounting Flanges to Crosstube of Curt Hitch # C15703

Question

Question:

Sorry to bother you again. Looks like I probably need C15313 down 5 3/8 inch. Before I order it, can you tell me the down distance on C15703? It looks to be a touch heaver, but possibly s down more? Will put it on a 2006 Chevy 3500 with 8 ft. bed. 2 1/4 x 2 1/4 receiver will get a sleeve put in it Thank you so much!

I attached an install video for you to check out as well.
