Stealth Hitch Clearance

[GemeloMalvado]

If anyone has a Stealth Hitch installed, can you post how many inches of clearance you have from bottom of receiver to ground? I just installed one on a friends Tesla M3LR yesterday and the clearance was only 7" to the ground. I have a Kuat NV 2.0 2-up bike rack, and occasionally attach the 2-up addon for 4 bikes. When using the 2-up, I think it's probably fine on the Tesla, but when hauling 4 bikes, the additional length makes clearance awfully close when driving on uneven ground (we scraped the bottom of the receiver on one short test). He's gonna get a 4.25" riser receiver so there's less chance of hitting the rack (the receiver is what it is, can't change that). I think I saw somewhere the Curt or Torklift was like 10.5" clearance when installed on the MME, I assume the Stealth would be similar. I don't have my MME yet (delivery shows couple weeks away), but I'd like to have all the "mandatory ?" add-ons I have to buy ready to go and wondering if I should get a riser or not.

Hi. I have the Hidden Hitch by DrawTite. It was much cheaper than stealth by hundreds of dollars and I can't see any difference between them. Very happy with it still.

I've never seen any chance of scraping with 4 bikes (2 kids ones) on my Yakima rack but my mme doesn't go anywhere that's not paved. You might get more clearance if the hitch wasn't removable but idk for certain.

Here's a photo, hope this helps!
