• Will The Demco Hijacker 5th Wheel Rail Kit Interfere With The Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Springs?
  I took a look at the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Air Helper Springs with Internal Jounce Bumpers # AL88299 that you mention, and it appears that the: -Demco Hijacker Premier Series Above-Bed Base Rails and Semi-Custom Install Kit for 5th Wheel Hitches # DM8552020-71 isn't going to be compatible due to the mounting bracket locations being the same.

• Will Demco 13K Autoslider Provide Enough Turning Clearance for 2019 Toyota Tundra Crew Max
  The 13K versions of the Demco Hijacker, part # DM8550040, actually do have 22-1/2" of clearance. The 18K # DM8550034 and 21K # DM8550035 versions are the ones that have the 14" of clearance. The difference between these is that the 13K hitches are for pickups with beds shorter than 6'. like your 2019 Toyota Tundra Crew Max, while the 18K and 21K are meant for pickups with a short bed more around the 6-1/2' range. The Hijacker Autosliders are actually superior to the PullRite SuperGlide...

  The Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Rails and Universal Installation Kit, # C16116 can be made to fit in most any truck including a 2019 Toyota Tundra.

• Slider Fifth Wheel Hitch Recommendation for 2008 Toyota Tundra 6-1/2 ft Bed
  Since your 2008 Toyota Tundra has a bed length shorter than 8 feet you will need to go with a slider fifth wheel hitch setup.

For a rail kit you then would want the custom install...
