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.
thanks again for the great info!!
The slider hitch, is that just a reg. hitch that has two settings. You can slide towards the cab or towards the tailgate??? Also the box, will it fit in the 5.5' box (crewmax) versus the 6.5' box as you suggested.
Has anyone out there pulled a 5th wheel, with their crewmax... Is their enoughclearance between the cab and the front of the 5th wheel?
I would try to measure it up but I have 8 feet of snow piled up in front of it so I cant even get close to it. I may have to sell. Everyone i've talked to seem to think it won't work. Still haven't tried the "Pullrite" brand...
