Fifth Airborne/Sidewinder and Sliders
Has anyone had any experience with the new Fifth Airborne/Sidewinder combination? Is it really a replacement for a slider hitch on a SB pickup? I have just bought a 2007 Duramax, short bed, 2500 Silverado HD and need to have a hitch installed for my 2004 3295RK. My old hitch was a non-slider and I had no problems turning (or pulling), but it was installed by the dealer about 2 inches behind the axle. I don't think that was a good way to go. I am looking at the Pullrite 18k superslider, the Reese Signature series 18 slider (manual), and now -- at this Fifth Airborne/Sidewinder combination with a standard fifth wheel hitch. I know that a new hitch installation will be farther forward than my old one, so feel a slider may ne necessary. It is all very confusing. I am interested in any final suggestions before I purchase something -- hopefully this week! On the slider hitches (Pullrite and Reese), are there any tailgate clearance problems when sliding -- or other issues I need to be aware of?
