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...

Am I correct to assume your tow bar on the CR-V a Blue Ox brand?

Also, I have had recommendations from a couple of people who have ths SMI Air Force One brake system, but can't find anyone in my area who installs them.
