I can definitely confirm the B&W Ball and Safety Chain Kit # BWGNXA2061 will fit a 2017 Ford F-350 with the OEM Prep Package. That being said, there have been issues with the B&W # BWGNXA2061 installing with the Andersen Gooseneck Adapter hitches due to the handle that locks it into place on the vehicle. It does sit fairly high up on the actual ball, which interferes with how the Andersen sits on the ball.

The better option would be the Reese RP30137. This will install in the factory gooseneck on your truck and will not interfere with the installation of the Andersen hitch.
