Recommended Reese Elite Gooseneck Hitch for Reese Elite Under-Bed Rails # RP30073
Updated 01/05/2018 | Published 01/04/2018
Question:
Will this kit fit the reese 30073 under bed rail kit or is there a different kit? 2008 F250 long bed with the 30073 rail kit installed previously. Thanks...

I do have a solution for you, however the Reese Under-Bed Rails # RP30073 that you have installed on your truck are not compatible with the Reese Elite Gooseneck Trailer Hitch Head Kit # RP30138 referenced in your question. The gooseneck hitch will not be able to mount between the rails of this system.
I instead recommend the Reese Elite Series Above-Bed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # RP30845. This has the same 25,000 pound towing capacity as the kit you were looking at and is confirmed to work with the particular rail kit you have installed. This will mount directly to the Reese Elite pucks pucks and still allows for easy removal and a clear truck bed when you are not towing.
I have attached a short video demonstration on this product along with the written installation instructions that you can also take a look at.
