F350 dually and Curt Q20 hitch

[Tundra2084]

Hope this is the right spot to post this.....so here it goes.
I presently have a 2012 F 350 SWD with a Curt Q20 slider hitch (rails) for a 16,000 (GVWR) fifth wheel. The height from top of hitch to floor of bed of truck is 17 1/2 inches. The fiver rides slightly high but, nothing really noticeable and we have about 7-8 inches of clearance at the bedrails. NOW we have bought a 2016 F350 Dually with the Ford puck system. The new truck is approx. 1 3/4 inches lower from the ground to the bed of the truck (probably due to 16" tires, new truck instead of 18"tires old truck). From what I have read on the Curt website is,the highest the Curt Q20 can go is 17inches. SO the way I figure it I'll be about 2 1/4" lower on the new truck.
Here are the questions
1. Is this going to lower the front of the fifth wheel at the hitch so that it is noticeable or do you ride level
2. Does anyone have a similar truck, hitch and trailer weight and what kind of height do you get between the fiver and the bedrail
3. If you have this kind of set up what height is your Curt Hitch set at.

and lastly......am I over thinking this??

I just went from a 06 F350 2W with a Husky 26K & rails to an F350 4X4 FX4 puck system. The new 350 bed looks much higher and Ford notes the FX4 is higher than standard 4x4, is there an issue with 5W hight on the F350 FX4 4x4?

I'm picking up a B&W Companion to fit the new F350, like MFL said the old hitch is going on the market.

I have the sides for the hitch that fits into the puck system, thus the half inch lower height on the hitch as it sits in the bed.

You are not going to put rails in the new to you truck are you? If you plan to use an adapter for the pucks, it will raise the hitch a couple inches. I'd sell the current hitch, and get one to fit the pucks directly.
