Has anyone put a 5th wheel hitch in a 2008 yet?

I have an air ride 5th wheel hitch to install in my truck in a few weeks and was wondering if anyone has put one in -- to date?

If you have -- any problems -- how did it go?

Thanks,

I don't think they changed anything on the bed for 08 (other than the step ) so it shouldn't have changed the hitch install.

Is the hitch differnt. (differnt part number than 07)

I installed my RBW Little Rocker Hitch last week in my 2008 F350 LB that was removed from my 2002 LB. No change at all, same bed, identical installation.

I have not installed one since my truck has not arrived yet. However I talked to Reese/DrawTite tech support and they informed me that the Custom Quick Install brackets for the rails are in fact the same as used on the 2005 - 2007 models.
