Question:
I have a 2017 f250 with a lift kit. Would the Reese Low-Profile 5th Wheel Hitch Item # RP30054 work for hauling?

The lowest profile fifth wheel hitch option we offer for a 2017 Ford F-250 without OEM Prep Package is the Curt A25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # C16180 (long bed) or Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # 16516 (short bed) which measures 13" and 15" respectively from the base to the top of the skid plate at the lowest setting. Then, you'd add about another 1" for the Curt Custom 5th Wheel Installation Kit for Ford part # C16428-204.
There would be no way to use the Reese Low-Profile 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch as it's for flatbeds.
