Most of the manufacturers measure the CG from the end of the bed (tailgate end) forward. My Lance has either a 47 or 49 inch CG,(forget which) which on my truck, puts the CG just ahead of the rear axle. With a one ton you should be good to go with the rig you are considering. IMHO

Go to the Lance website
scroll to center of gravity...they explain how they measure it
click link for the model 992 is 50" that should put it in front of the rear axle where it should be .
