Tailgate is right up against the trailer when connecting

[mark5w]

Ok. My Pullrite slider has no adjustments. I have the Super rails that are removed when I do not have the hitch in. Only thing left are the 4 holes in the truck bed. My rear rail is mount 29.5" oc from the end of the bed. Front: 51.5" oc.

2/350 dimension should be 33-1/8" oc from end of bed. Front: 55-1/8" oc.
But the tailgate on the 2/350 are a little over 2.5" higher than the 150.

So basically, the 150 is just around 1" closer to truck bed end.

Alchemistic, I wish it was that easy to just get a new pinbox. The one that comes on our trailers is the longest one available. I really don't want to put the 10" extension on the pinbox.

Mark, the guy on the Ford forum shows he has adjustments, but he has regular rails in the same place as mine.

the solution is not to get a longer pin box,
then it will strike the SIDES of your bed on hard turns (don't ask me how I know )

A v-gate is your best solution. check craigslist as that's where I sold mine and saw a bunch

DG Tailgate supports come in different lengths. Maybe they make one that comes up just enough to keep the tailgate out of the way. I have all 3 sizes and love them.

The rail kit (Reese 50026) I have the measurement is 32 1/4". The other kit that Reese offers (56016) the measurement is 27 5/8". Looking up your no drill rail kit (56006) for the F150, your rear rail should be around 26 3/16" from the back of the bed. If you have the universal rail kit (58426) then the measurement will be around 29 5/16". Each truck and type of kit seams to have a different mounting location.

John,
I have a 16k Reese slider in my long bed so a bit different. I installed the Reese bolt on bracket to securely mount my two bed rails. I too am about 3" forward of the rear axle after using the Reese brackets.
I am 35" from center of rear rail to the back edge of the bed. I am also 41" from the front of the bed, back to the center of the front rail.
I can back up to my 5th wheel with the slider in the travel position and I have about 2" clearance from the downed tailgate to the trailer if I align straight back. In the maneuver position, I have a little over a foot clearance.
Here's my installation of my hitch, as I outlined on FTE. Enjoy.

I'm not near that close on my GMC but I have the 6.5' bed with the SuperGlide. I did put on a different pinbox (TriGlide). One other thing with the SuperGlide, it may need the height raised (Pullrite has a 3" kit to raise it).

Good luck.
