The proper location to install the front rail on the Curt 5th Wheel Installation Kit # C16424-204, for your 2016 Ford F-250 is 54-3/16 inches from the rear edge of truck box (to the rear edge of the front rail). This applies to both short and long bed trucks.
On the other hand, the front rail on the Curt 5th Wheel Installation Kit # C16448-104, for the 2013 Ford F-150 installs 50.938 inches, again measured from the rear edge of the truck box to the rear edge of the front rail, regardless of bed size.
I've attached diagrams to show these measurements as well as links to the complete installation instructions and a step by step installation video on a 2016 Ford F-250.
