The dimension you are looking for is 26-5/16 inches when installing the Reese Universal Rail kit part # RP30035-023. This is the recommended distance Reese recommends between the rear rail edge of the kit and the rear edge of your truck's bed. You'll then use the front legs of your fifth wheel hitch to place the front rail.
