Ford 5th wheel prep package

I just purchased the prep package and plan on installing it myself. I opened the box at the dealer to check if everything was there and it was. Drove 30 miles home and the instructions blew out of the box. Ive seen some vidoes on youtube and have everything i need except the measurements. Ive seen a video on the Reese Elite puck system and they use the same factory dimpled holes. Im sure i can go off those measurements. My truck had a factory bedliner installed and they laid that crap over the bed bolts and everything. So if anyone has any measurements handy or knows where i can find them id appreciate it.

What year truck are you installing it on? I have been pondering trading up to a 2017 or 18 and have inquired about purchasing the prep kit as non on the lots have it and have been finding it very difficult to get information.

I have 2015 f250 fx4. I thought about buying the reese elite system but then you have to purchase the goose neck plate separate. In the long run the ford system looked to be the better of the two. I hope to get it intalled in the next couple weekends and ill post some pictuers. Thanks for the measurements highlife4me.

Order your truck. Also use Costco, Consumer Report or USAA buyer program. Costco program got me $3600 off, but told dealer I needed $8K off. Done in 20 minutes.
