2017 DS tow hitch height on Spartan

Our order is in for a 2017 4369 on a Spartan chassis. If someone has the same 2017 K2 Chassis (4369 or other 43 series Spartan), when you are out and about the next time with the chassis aired up would you measure to the top inside of the tow hitch receiver for me?

Want to setup a tow bar system and the height would let me determine if I need any type of drop/lift hitch adapter.

I don't want to assume that the Spartan and FL chassis have the same height.

Thanks for the help.

Quick bump on this since no one ever answered. Anyone have a measurement?
Thanks

My 4369 on a K2 is in the barn, but it will be home tomorrow. Will measure then. You want ground to middle top inside of tow tube, yes?

Phil, that would be perfect. Coach at ride height please. Have my AF1 all installed along with Demco tow plates (2017 GMC Canyon Diesel) with a Roadmaster Sterling. Looks like that measures at about 15" give or take when it is level.

I was on a bit of an incline, but it looks like the hitch is at about about 20 inches, but it is hard to tell how much it would change on level ground. Would be a bit lower i think if anything.

With the coach flat, level, loaded, and aired, I have 21 inches exactly to the inside top of the square receiver tube.
