Hoping that the two images are visible. They were taken while the king pin was an inch ahead of the rear axle. Looks tight to me. What do you think?
Its too tight, I have more clearance then that with the tailgate down when hitching up. My tailgate its 17" from the front of the bumper to the far edge of the tailgate when its down. With what you have in the picture you can't put your tailgate down to hook up . Something is certainly not right. Can't imagine the pin box sitting back that far ,its hard to tell in the pictures, but if you indeed have that pin lined up just in front of the axle center its a problem.
IMO you need to get the hitch installed in the correct position , and then go from there, no sense guessing where everything should be until then.
