The rear rail edge of the Reese universal rail kit part # RP30035 that you referenced will need to be 29-1/4 inches from the rear edge of the truck.

I attached the portion of the install instructions that covers this as well as an install video for this kit in a similar Ford truck as yours as well.

You'll use your hitch to place the front rail after you put the hitch in the rear rail mounting tabs.
