Expert Reply:
Hey Zac, the shortest fifth wheel hitch we offer that fits the OEM pucks of your 2023 GMC Sierra 3500 would be the Curt E16 part # C47FR which can be set at 11-1/2 inches in height.
If you can get away with a slightly taller hitch though I recommend the Curt A25 part # C24FR which is 13 inches at it's shortest and has a much nicer jaw design that will be much smoother and quieter. What are you towing?

2017 Dutchmen voltage 3605. I think the 16k is too close to the weight of the trailer loaded. Not a big enough margin of error
