Hello Brian, thanks for reaching out. The Ram puck system is going to be centered equally over the rear axle. The idea is the 5th wheel kingpin (or gooseneck ball) is centered directly over the rear axle for optimal stability. Some puck systems put the center point just in front of the rear axle, but generally it will be directly over.
