Shane, the brackets are ca. 29" back from the center of the ball. I am trying to attach a pix that shows there is plenty of room forward of the pivot point. If you do go with a Blue Ox, the real Location / dimension is set by getting the chain from the tension bar up over the bracket to be truly vertical. I need to adjust one of mine now that I have used the hitch for a long road trip and found that I did not get one of mine just in the right spot.

Hitch works great, quiet, easy to load if you have an electric hitch, but even with a manual crank should not be too much of a chore. I bought 1000 lb bars and they are a little stiff. Should get 750's but not sure that another $250 is justified.
