If you are also using the Husky installation kit with the Husky hitch then for a 1995 Ford F-150, short or long bed, it should be kit # HT31563-686.

According to Husky for this kit:

Position the assembled 5th wheel hitch so that it is centered over the truck axle. Rear base rail should be located 28-5/8 inches for 4 Bolt Base Rails or 28-3/16 inches for 10 Bolt Base Rails from rear edge of bed on long bed trucks and 29-3/4 inches from rear edge of bed on short bed trucks. This will place both of the hitch bed rail attachment points to the rear of both truck under bed cross members. Use the left and right angle brackets to clear the shock mount brackets when attaching to the side of the truck frame.
