Scott and Poppy - How does your kingpin line up on the axle using the Andersen? Like I noted, mine looks to be about 6" behind the axle, using a non-calibrated Mk1 Mod O eyeball. If I reverse the adapter block, I think it will be ahead of the axle and maybe exactly over the g/n ball. But, not sure if I have the clearance between truck and 5er for that ... I may test that in the driveway to see.
I flipped my adapter because I was concerned about the back of my pinbox hitting the side rails of my bed. It puts the original king pin about over the axle. So, maybe 3" farther forward than you have yours.
That's exactly what I did. I noticed that the rear of the pin box on a 90deg turn could hit the side of the bed. By reversing the adapter I moved the king pin forward about 5-6in and gave myself plenty of bed clearance.
