Helpful Expert Reply:
To gain more bed clearance, you would want to use a taller gooseneck hitch ball which is going to be limited in options. If you have more height options on your Gen-Y hitch, you can also lower the goose-box to increase the height. But, these options are only going to provide so much clearance.
If you have the OEM prep package in your 2022 Ford F-350 then the Curt Ball and Safety Chain Loop Kit # C60692 would fit and has a height of 5-1/8". There is also the B&W Ball and Safety Chain Kit # BWGNXA2061 which sits a little higher at 5-3/4".
You want to have 5"-6" of bed side clearance. You can check this by backing your F-350 up to your trailer with the goose-box, you should be able to take some measurements to see how high it will sit.
If you do not have the OEM prep and are using an aftermarket option, please let me know what gooseneck hitch you have in your F-350 and I would be happy to help you find the best gooseneck ball option. If these options do not provide you with enough clearance, let me know and we can look into other options that get you the clearance that you need.
