Can you mount the hitch behind the rear axle? Yes, Should you? I wouldn't if it was me. Would I have the bed shortened? Yes I would. I have seen several that the rear wheels were close to the rear of the bed. In fact some actually mount the hitch a few inches ahead of the axle. My first question is "What is the total length of the hitch box? You can install a longer hitch box on the 5th wheel. What was the truck used for before?
Hitch box is straight up and down. I've seen the kingpin extenders. But from what I think puts extra stress on different part of the frame in a way it might not of been ment for. Kinda of abandoned that thought a while back.maybe I'm wrong
