I reached out to my contact at Blue Ox regarding the Base Plate Kit # BX2645 and he said on your 2018 Ford Flex the base outlets should extend past the grille about 1 to 2 inches. Then with the bracket arms plugged in you are looking at an extension of around 5 inches.
I have attached the complete install manual below that you can check out as well.
