What is Offset Difference Based On Ear Direction of Reese Elite Slider Hitch RP30144

Question:

The instructions recommend that the center section be installed with the ears offset forward. What is the distance from the kingpin or center of the jaw to the truck rear axle when the center section ears are installed to the front and to the rear positions on a 2018 Ford F250 with the factory puck system?

The offset difference between having the ears in the forward and rearward position with the Reese Elite Series Pre-Assembled 5th Wheel Hitch w/ Slider # RP30144 that you referenced is 1.5 inches. So basically it will be either right above the rear axle or 1.5 inches forward.
