I moved from a Ford F350 SRW to a Dodge 3500 DRW several years ago. Moved the hitch from one to the other (after purchasing the necessary Dodge frame rail kit -- would have been cheaper to just buy a new hitch but that is another story). In any case, to answer your question -- the Dodge bed it much higher than the Ford's so I had to not only change the height of the hitch receiver in the bed of the truck but also had to have the king-pin moved on the 5er as well in order to get the trailer to ride somewhat level and give me some clearance on the bed rails. I'd suggest you move one first, test it and then move the other if needed. Oh yeah -- something else to watch out for -- if you move the hitch assembly down in the bed of the truck -- make sure that your king pin assembly clears the sides of your truck bed. With some of the extended hitch pins, the receiver in the truck has to be up some or else you can't make tight turns without hitting the trck sides with the extended hitch pin!!
