Since your 2011 F-350 dually already has a B&W turnover ball gooseneck hitch installed the best 5th wheel set-up to use is the B&W Companion # BWRVK3500. This 20K-rated hitch will simply drop in to the existing hitch ball hole in your bed. You do not need to install base rails at all if you choose this hitch...just drop it in and you're all set. The Companion is USA-made, carries a limited lifetime warranty and includes features like a wide base for stability, polyurethane bushings for a quieter ride, 4-inches of front-to-back adjustment and dual 1-inch thick jaws for 360-degree king pin contact.
If you want to use an industry-standard hitch in base rails like the Curt # C16100 then instead you can use the Curt X5 adapter # 16310 that is shown in the linked video. This drops into the B&W gooseneck ball hole and provides the same industry-standard base rails as found in the universal kit # C16100. Please note that you cannot install a universal base rail kit with the B&W hitch in place.
