Question:
Can I use a lippert pivoting head with a Anderson ultimate hitch?

The Andersen # AM3200 Ultimate 5th Wheel Connection isn't compatible with the Reese Sidewinder which operates identically to the Lippert Turning Point (I'm assuming you're speaking of the Turning Point), so the two would not be compatible.
For a rotating pin box-equipped fifth wheel, your best bet would be to install a traditional 5th wheel hitch in your truck. If your truck has the OEM puck system, I'd recommend the Curt A20, part # C16034 or # C16245 along with the # C16428-204 rail/bracket kit if the truck doesn't have the puck mounting system.
The A20 is a high quality hitch that uses a split jaw that contacts the king pin 360° around its circumference for a smooth rattle and bang free ride. The hitch is more reasonably priced than other options, while still being an outstanding product that will work great for you.
