The only front hitches that fit your truck have the receiver coming out in the center of the bumper, so changing hitches will not lower the scooter. I put a front hitch on mine, a Draw Tite (2000 SD) and have the same problem. You will need to use a high/low receiver accessary like Byrtr1 shows in his post. I put my DRZ on mine and couldn't see a thing over the bike. I plan on getting the high/low receiver before my next trip. I'm not familiar with your front hitch, but the I think 2002 Ford has the safety bar behind the front bumper to keep small cars from going under the vehicle. So switching to a another hitch that installs differently than yours may require cutting the safety bar out. The Draw Tite, Reese and Curt require cutting the safety bar if yours has one.
Also, nothing wrong with the Versa Haul, but check out Moto Tote. Better quality imo.
