Question:
30156 Reese Elite Series Under-Bed Rail Kit .. Will this kit work on my 2025 Ford F350 with trailer prep in bed. I have a Reese 16K 5th wheel hitch and would like to use with this adapter.

It definitely will Michael. The Reese Elite Series Underbed Rail Adapter item # RP30156 is going to drop right down into your F-350's factory puck system and provide you with a base equivalent to a set of industry standard 5th wheel rails.
You'll be able to install your Reese 16k 5th wheel hitch right on top of this adapter. Please note that it will add 2" of height to your 5th wheel hitch.
What kind of 5th wheel trailer are you pulling? You can add this information and any other questions you have where it says Reply to Jerred H and I'll be happy to answer them.

Hey Michael, how did the Reese Elite Series underbed rail adapter work out with your F-350’s factory puck system? Did the extra 2 inches of height make any difference when towing your 5th wheel trailer? Your feedback could help others setting up a similar hitch.
