Expert Reply:
The height of a 5th wheel hitch like the Curt A16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ R16 Slider - Dual Jaw - 16,000lbs Item # C16521 needs to be set to allow 6" of clearance space from the bed rails to the nose of the 5th wheel while still allowing your 5th wheel to sit level while hooked up in the hitch.
To determine the height needed for this you'll have to measure from the top of your truck bed floor to the ground and then measure from the plate of the pin box on the trailer down to the ground when the trailer is level on level ground. The difference between these two measurements is the correct hitch height you would need.
