My bed on my 93 f350 was cutoff 16” in the front to make room for a wheel lift that is no longer there. Now I have a bed with a mount for a ball roughly 17” in front of the axle. I don’t have a gooseneck trailer but if I needed to would that be any issue?

Swing clearance being reduced between the front of the trailer and the tailgate comes to mind.

The 16” brought the rear of the bed forward 16” also. It’s literally at the frame.

Got it...
Well the weight transfer will be forwarded on the chassis, not sure about wet weather braking and load push.
Jacknife clearance will suffer @ the cab probably.
