Andersen Fifth Wheel Hitch Conversion

I wonder if Andersen is working on a model that locks into the four bed pucks?
I see this model that pins to rails as much better than the ones that relie of the bed floor to carry the weight.
One that used the pucks would put the weight on the frame.
However in my mine I still would not like the humping of the trailer higher to hitch and unhitch! If my truck comes up 2-2.5 and then I have to go up another 3-4 inches, that is a lot of extra work for the landing gear. What is the actual distance the ball goes up into the receiver block?
