On your 2008 Ford F-250 Super Duty Short Bed if you are using the Reese Custom Base Rails and Installation Kit, part # RP50082-58, the distance from the rear edge of the truck bed to the rear edge of the front base rail closest to the truck cab is 54-3/16 inches.

If you are using the Reese Universal Base Rails and Installation Kit, part # RP30035, the distance is measured from the rear edge of the truck to the rear edge of the base rail closest to the tailgate of the truck is 32-1/2 inches.
