The top of the gooseneck ball needs to be 13/16" or closer to the top of the truck bed in order to use the Demco Recon Gooseneck-to-5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter for Recessed Ball # DM8550046.

Since the distance from the top of your hitch ball to the bed is closer at 3/16" you can absolutely use the Recon without issue. I have added a link below to a video review for you to check out as well if you'd like.
