As to the distance from my headache rack to the front of the fiver, I've never measured. I did go to an empty parking lot and made progressively tighter turns with the fiver in the tow (forward) and maneuver (aft) positions. On a level parking lot in the tow position, I could make about a 50 degree angle between the truck and axis of the fiver before I started feeling uncomfortable. Based on not all parking lots are level, I'd recommend a safe angle of 45 degrees. Learn how to position your mirrors to watch the angle (thanks Dodge for motorized mirrors). In the aft position, I can get almost to 90 degrees, but I had to see the tires of the fiver do their "funny thing".
Vertically I'm towing with the fiver virtually bubble level. With a front A/C on my 344 Mountaineer, I measured 13'3", but I look for nothing less than 13'6" at fuel stops, bridges, etc.
