Adjustable Height Fifth Wheel Hitch For Ram 2500
Question:
Hello, Here is my problem. I have a 2016 Dodge Ram 2500 with factory puck system. I am towing a 2014 Grand Design Reflection 303RLS. I have a Pullrite Superglide hitch. The setup is towing nose high. I have installed two inch blocks on the axles to raise the rear of the camper and installed 16 inch wheels on the camper and also have the pin box to its highest setting, which has helped. The Pullright has no height adjustment. I need a automatic slider hitch to fit in the factory pucks that is height adjustable. I was looking at the Anderson Ultimate, but I am a little leery of it. What is your recommendation?

If your Ram has a 6-1/2 foot bed, the Demco Hijacker Autoslide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Slider # DM8550034 and Demco 5th Wheel Rail Adapter for Ram OEM 5th Wheel Towing Prep Package # DM6099 has adjustable hitch height settings of 15-1/4", 16-1/2", and 18".
The adapter # DM6099 that fits in the pucks of your 2016 Dodge Ram 2500 will add 1-3/8" to
height of hitch.
The same adapter # DM6099 will work if you have an 8 foot bed, but that same sized bed will require a different fifth wheel trailer hitch # DM6076P-21K. This hitch has an hitch height of 16" - 19".
