Also, with the slider style hitch, at the furthest setting back towards the tailgate, is there enough clearance so the cab doesnt hit the front of the 5th wheel??
I have heard of two (at least) ways to increase the allowable hitch weight for a 5ver. One (air bags) was highly recommended by a person I met who has them installed. Says they not only decreased the sag of the truck under a heavier load, but also smoothed out the ride. The other (Super Springs) has a lot of promotional material on the internet, but I have heard from no one with any experience using them. They are apparently cheaper than air bags. By the way I have found that there are slider hitches that will accommadate a 6.5 ft truck bed.
