Hey Matt. If your 2025 Ford F-350 has the factory puck system, I recommend the Gen-Y item # GY43XR. This offset adapter is going to drop down into your gooseneck hole and front pucks and push the gooseneck ball back 5" towards your truck's tailgate. It has a 25,000 lbs capacity and includes built in safety chain loops. It is compatible with the Curt Helux gooseneck pin boxes.
Does your F-350 have the factory puck system? If not I'll need to know what specific gooseneck hitch your truck has.

I have a 2017 F250 diesel extended cab 6 ft box. The offset ball works great, gives you that extra 5” space from the tailgate to the camper. Easy install straight into the factory puck and ball.

@Matt Matt Gen Y makes two different 5” offsets the newer of the two use your back 3 pucks and has the built in chain hooks. This is the one you want! But keep in mind that even with a 5” offsets you can still slap the cab. The goose neck set up is a better ride for me .

Have the gen-y installed on my F-250 and it works great. Can almost make a 90 degree turn.

I have a 2024 F-350 with the offset ball. I have had no major problems however I fell the new design, utilizing the rear pucks, will be even better. Good luck, happy towing.
