There are a number of ways to make towing with shortbeds effective. This equipment isn't that of ten years ago. Not trying to sell B&W, just sharing experience. The two inches either fore or aft isn't what it used to be. My hitch base mounts to the frame per the factory placement. Where the hitch head is located on that base is irrelevant as the weight transfer is (nearly) the same. Very miniscule affect from leverage. Now, in past years, if the hitch base wasn't mounted axle C/L it became problematic and in some instances, illegal.
