Lots of people slide the tent forward, then fold it out over the bonnet. Your ladder then contacts with the brush guard (see, now you have an excuse to get one) and you still have the rack space available behind the tent. The way you have it though, your tent is more stable which is nice.
Not to mention that with the amount of stuff in the back of peoples trucks, putting it in the middle better weight distribution.
