Question:
do you have a Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit for Ford F150. The problem is I have a 5-6inch bed crew cab Lariat. The part C16437-204 says it fits 6-6inch and 8foot beds, but doesnt say anything about a 5-6inch bed

Great question Troy. It would appear no one makes a custom rail kit for your 2001 Ford F-150 so you would need to use the Universal Kit # C16200 for installation on your truck. This means you will have to drill into your frame so you may want to have this professionally installed depending on your comfort level.
With you having the 5-1/2' bed be sure to check out the Demco Autoslide # DM8550040 which is specifically designed for short bed trucks. This will slide the hitch head back 22-1/2" for increased turning clearance.
