In my case, I don't think the receiver can go higher without needing to go through the white bumper because it would be mounted atop the crossbar. It looks that the configuration is different between the two rigs.
I think you will find that with his hitch as with mine the cross bar is mounted between the frame rails not attached to the bottom - that places the receiver just below the bumper, the rest of the hitch being up above the bottom of the frame. I know that with my 27 foot backing into my driveway even on a 45 degree angle if I had a hitch like yours that roller and the angle iron part of the hitch would tear up my driveway.
