5th wheel hitch reinstalled
I didn't want to spend the $370 for the 5th wheel prep and then have to buy the Ford Reese hitch that only works with the 5th wheel prep for $1600 so I decided to re-use my 16k Reese hitch I already had in my 2005 F-350 that I traded in. My RV dealer charged me 4 hours of labor at $125 an hour and $95 for a new bolt kit and $100 for the plug in the bed of the pickup. Total with tax was $750. Now I am thinking I should have went for the Ford factory prep and hitch and put it in to my financing.

I have my old bars and 16K hitch above mount from my 2003 F350 and am toying with going with the less obstrusive under mount in my 2011 F350 CC Short box KR SRW no prep package for the fifth. Just starting to look and hopefully they make one for the short box.

I had my 1997 Pullrite (non slider) sandblasted and painted. I had to order the new mounting kit for the Pullrite from the factory. The older mount will NOT WORK with the 2011. After the sandblast, paint, mounting bracket, and installation I had an expense of around $900. I would do it again. I like my hitch better than the new Reese hitch from Ford.

Are the bars under bed mount or above?
