It sounds like you might be trying to use a universal fifth wheel install kit like the Reese Universal Base Rails and Installation Kit part # RP30035 on a 2011 Ford F-350. If that is the case then you will need to refer to the instructions below for the above kit. If you have run into a hiccup, please provide photos of the issue and I will do my best to resolve.
Please note, there is a custom kit for this vehicle which is much easier to install, the Reese Quick-Install Custom Installation Kit part # RP50026-58 and that's what I recommend.
