I recommend using the Reese Quick-Install Custom Installation Kit # RP50026-58 for your 20K Pro Series 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # PS30121 because it installs using existing holes on your 2011 Ford F-350 frame. This means an easier and quicker installation as you don't have to drill holes in the frame of your pickup. I have attached an installation video of this kit on a 2013 Ford Super Duty that you can reference.

You may also be interested in the Bargman # 50-97-410 so that you have a 7-Way connector in the bed of your F-350 to make connecting the wiring from your 5th wheel trailer much easier. Attached is an installation video of this on a 2012 F-350 that you can reference as well.
