Hey Travis! You won't have any issues with vertical clearance using the MORryde GooseTech # MR27MV. The only clearance issues you might run into is if your 2017 Ford F-350 is the short bed. If you have the long bed this is going to be a really nice upgrade for your setup. You will also need safety chains # GY49GR and if you want a lock for added security you can use the # IR66FR.

I'm assuming you already identified your pin box and it has a Lippert 1116 bolt pattern. What kind of 5th wheel do you have?

We have a Keystone Sprinter 3590 LFT. The F350 does have the long bed. The pin box ID was the 1116. Thanks for all your help. I will be ordering one soon. Travis

Since the pin weight of your camper is 2.1k, I recommend going with the LoadLifter 5000 opposed to the 7500. While technically there is not reason you couldn't use the 7500 kit, it really is not necessary for a camper like yours. Generally the…
