Short Fifth Wheel Hitch For 2012 Ford F150 Towing 5th Wheel

Question:

I currently have a B and W 18k Patriot slider. I need to lower the front of my 5th wheel so I was considering the Curt Q25 because it would it about 4. I see that Curt states the rails are the same but are they at the same spacing front to back. Meaning can I just buy the hitch and it right in my current rails without moving them? I have a GEN-Y pin box and because it extends out further my trailer does not come even close to my truck cab.

The rails are industry standard, ISR, and will work with other units.

If you need a shorty I recommend going with the Curt A20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch - Dual Jaw - 20,000 lbs # C16140. It has a max height of 17 inches and low setting of 13 inches. That will give you the 4 inch drop you need.
