With the OP he is asking about an Andersen hitch with a Ford short bed, My guess is he will mount the hitch in the rear position, and he will be pretty close to center of axle if the pin box adapter is in the forward position putting the fifth wheel closer to the cab the way I run mine. If he runs that pin adapter in the rear position that 8" further back, thats puts him rear of axle center. That is how Andersen says you can do it, I don't like the idea of that far back, but many do to get the clearance . There is actually four positions you can run the Andersen , but IMO two applies to a long bed, and two applies to a short bed .
If you put the hitch in the forward position on a short bed ,and the adapter in the rear ,you would still be too close to the cab. The hitch has to be in the rear position ,and in my case its my choice which position to put the adapter. I chose having the fifth wheel closer to the cab ,and up closer to center of axle.
