Depends... How much higher or lower is the new trucks hitch then the old one?
Is the hitch shank you currently have adjustable?
What kind of WD hitch do you have now? Is it adjustable?
This is the same hitch head I have now with a new truck. I towed the same trailer with it at the same setting (97 F150 new truck is a 13 F150)

I still have the same hitch.. I got a new TT and now I had to flip the hitch shank over and adjust the hitch head accordingly. It's now flipped and set to the lower hole on the short side of the shank.
The problem is getting those large size sockets or wrenches to fit! They don't come in your everyday socket set! :)
In the end, you need to have an adjustable shank if you need to adjust the height.. If you don't, then you need to get one..
Good luck, Mitch
