Anyone have a superduty shortbed and a Reese round tube?

Hello all,
I'm in need of a favor. Looking for someone with a round tube Reese 16k slider and a short bed superduty. I'm going to buy a aux fuel tank tomorow i found on CL and I don't have my hitch to make a measurement. The measurement I need is from the face of the front bottom mounting tab to the front end of the slider tube.
Another measurement that would help is the distance from the front of the bed to the face of the tubes. Thank you in advance!!

    We have an RDS with a tool box on top of it. The Reese we have is the same as yours but not round rail. It too clears but the pin box only clears by an inch or so when hooked up. Never hit though. Just FYI


    Thanks for that info.. Mine is an RDS brand also. Only one issue so far that was very minor... The mechanical gauge float arm was getting stuck on the inside of the tank wall. It read half a tank when full. I removed it and dremeled 1/4" off the aluminum arm that stuck out from the float. All ok now. I have since added a Pro-Tech Cab rack.
