Expert Reply:

Do you have a suspension lift or body lift for your 2006 Ford F-250 Super Duty? If it's a suspension lift then that means the distance between your truck frame and body won't be any different and I recommend installing the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit for Ford # C16448-204 and using the Curt A25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C16180. This is a stationary hitch with the 25K weight rating you're looking for. Please be sure you aren't exceeding the weight capacity of your truck.

If you have a body lift then this will increase the distance between your frame and body. There aren't any custom brackets in mass production for this type of application so you'll have to reach out to a manufacturer to see if they can fabricate something for you.

I also recommend installing the Curt Wiring Kit # C56070 to add a 7-Way in the bed of your truck so it's easier to connect your 5th wheel wiring.

Attached are some installation videos for you to check out.
