Fifth Wheel Hitch Set Back Dimension

[Ken17j]

What is the fifth wheel hitch dimension from the front of the bed on an 8' bed versus a 6' 4" bed? Trying to figure out how much more the fifth wheel camper will be away from the cab with the 8' bed.

I think the pin location is based on axle location. I think most FW pins are either over or just in front of the axle in order to get at least some of the load on the front. The difference is whatever the difference in axle location is between long and short bed trucks.

as the diagram shows it's the axel your using as the guide so the difference of 8'-6'.4"=1'.8" more clearance.
