Your numbers are spot on! The Curt A16 slider hitch # C16521 appears to be at the right height setting for towing your fifth wheel trailer level while accommodating possible suspension sag as well. You measured from the right places; the pin box mounting surface down to the ground as well as the truck bed floor to ground and computed the difference to give you the hitch height needed.
