Expert Reply:
In order to use the B&W Companion 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # BWRVK3500-5W in the bed of your 2008 Ford F-450 you will need to use the Custom Underbed Installation Kit part # BWGNRK1108-5W. The B&W Turnoverball Gooseneck Trailer Hitch is designed specifically to be used with the B&W Companion 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch and will also give you a gooseneck hitch while the 5th wheel hitch is not installed.
The B&W Companion and B&W Turnoverball are considered to be one of the best hitch packages on the market. B&W products are well reviewed, made here in the U.S.A. and come with a lifetime warranty. The only other thing I recommend for your towing setup is an in-bed wiring harness if you do not already have one and for that part # 41157 will work well for you.
I have also attached an install video of the B&W Turnoverball on a 2008 Ford F-450 for you as well.
