The hinge is going to be around 12" from the back. According to my rough calculations, in order for the bed to tilt 45* with an 8" stroke cylinder, the cylinder needs to attach to the bed 10" in front of the pivot. That puts the cylinder rod attached at 22" from the back. If I move the pivot back farther, then the cylinder needs moved back as well to maintain a 45* tilt.
