In the installation instructions for the Reese Universal Base Rail Kit # RP30035 that you referenced the first rail which is closest to the tailgate of your truck should be 28-7/16 inches from the rear edge of the truck bed to rear edge of the base rail as noted in the attached picture.
I have attached a brief installation video of this rail kit on a 2002 Dodge Ram.
