The adapter will raise the hitch almost 3". I found out the hard way. I needed a slider for a short bed truck--B&W didn't make one for pucks so I tried the adapter method with a Reese slider. Ended up way nose high. Reese arranged a trade in deal for an 18K elite slider which was (still is?) the only Reese hitch that fits the pucks. If I did it again, I would get the B&W after market under bed system for which B&W makes a slider.
Your Elite slider is the only slider that will fit the pucks without an adapter but not the only Reese hitch. The Ford (Reese Elite) pucks are universal to the Elite line and all Reese Elite hitches fit without an adapter.
