Need help from anyone towing a CR-V with a Blue Ox base

I have a Blue Ox base plate that I am preparing to install on my CR-V but would like to know, from someone with a 2012-14 CR-V what the distance is from the flat ground to the center of the connectors...

Thanks. I have to check, but I believe the Phaeton is 20", so I'll have to drop it at least a couple of inches. May just go with the 5000 lb. ball mount. Costs just keep adding up when getting set up to go from a tow dolly to a flat towed.
