Since you have a Turning Point pin box you can't use the Companion hitch # BWRK3500 since it attaches through the center of the hitch to the gooseneck rail kit. The twisting torque of the Turning Point will damage the hitch as that style of pin box requires the hitch to attach in the four corners of the hitch like standard hitches.

So for an underbed solution your best and only option is the Underbed Rail Kit from Demco part # DR37FR which is custom fit for your truck and the fixed hitch part # DM8550032 which has a 21k capacity and has an excellent jaw design. This will give you an underbed setup like you are wanting that is compatible with the Turning Point. You also will have turning clearance as well.
