The Sidewinder Fifth Wheel King Pin, part # ST500-SW01, is not specifically matched to vehicles, it is matched to the fifth-wheel trailer king pin. However, I spoke with the manufacturer of Sidewinder products and with your 5-1/2 foot bed, you must use a Sidewinder king pin extension. Otherwise, you will not have sufficient clearance while towing. To find the correct sidewinder for your application, you will need to know the model number of your fifth wheel trailer king pin, and use the... view full answer...
The 1/2" pin is pretty standard with fifth wheel setups because they have to fit through the rails in the bed. All of the fifth wheel pins we carry are 1/2" options. If you are just concerned about rattle I recommend to use Curt Fifth Wheel Sound Dampeners part # 16900. They install between the hitch and mounting rails to eliminate some of the rattle while you are driving. These will work with any industry standard fifth wheel rail in the bed.

Yes, you can use a Sidewinder Fifth Wheel King Pin ST400-SW01 with a sliding fifth wheel hitch. The Sidewinder eliminates the need for a slider, but they can still be used together. In this situation you cannot use the slider in the rearward position. It would center weight behind the rear axle and could lift the front end of the truck. view full answer...
The Reese 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch with Square Tube Slider, # RP30051, has a 16,000 lbs. gross towing weight capacity. It will accept a industry standard 2 inch king pin. It has 10 inches of slider travel to give you clearance between your truck and the trailer.
This fifth-wheel trailer hitch will not fit trucks with beds shorter than 6 feet. It also will not fit trucks with flareside/stepside beds. A minimum 13 inches extended trailer pin box is recommended.

The Fifth Airborne Air Ride King Pins are fit-specific to the trailer pin box. To determine if we carry one that will fit your Fleetwood, you will need the manufacturer name and model number of the pin box. This information is typically stamped into, or is printed on a sticker applied to the pin box.

This Sidewinder Fifth Wheel King Pin with Rotating Turret by 5th Airborne, part # RP34FR, will give you an additional 22 inches of clearance. This would be a great option for you. Your other option is to purchase a fifth wheel slider hitch, which will only give you at most an additional 5 inches of clearance. I would say you are better off with the Sidewinder.

The Curt Q16 Fifth Wheel Hitch, # C16520-16021, is compatible with a TrailAir pin box as well as other air ride pin boxes. It is not compatible with Sidewinder or Revolution pin boxes because the hitch has a very wide jaw design that Sidewinder has not been able to come up with a wedge that would work.
The pivoting of the Sidewinder would also damage the cushioning of the Q series Curt hitches as well. view full answer...

While it is a dual jaw system the Reese 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # RP30047 does not make 100% contact 360 degrees around the king pin. This is normal on this particular head.
To ensure that it is properly connected to the camper you need to make sure the latch is closed and secured on the handle. With that in place the fifth wheel is properly connected. view full answer...

The 5th Airborne Sidewinder Premium 5th Wheel Air Ride King Pins like part # ST400-5AS16K for example can only be used with a fifth wheel hitch that mounts to above bed rails or a factory in-bed pucks system. The majority of the Andersen Ultimate Connections mount to a goosneck ball therefore the 5th Airborne Premium 5th Wheel Air Ride King Pin is not compatible. However, you could use the 5th Airborne Premium Fifth Wheel Air-Ride Coupler like part # 5AB-E7920 for example which still provides... view full answer...
The Curt Q20 Fifth Wheel Hitch, # C16130, is compatible with a TrailAir pin box as well as other air ride pin boxes. It is not compatible with Sidewinder or Revolution pin boxes because they do not pivot at the fifth wheel hitch. Instead they pivot using a turret at the opposite end of the pin box.
To prevent the Sidewinder or Revolution pin boxes from pivoting at the hitch, they use a wedge just behind the king pin that locks the pin box in one position at the hitch head. This wedge... view full answer...
Yes, the Fifth Wheel to Gooseneck Cushioned Trailer Adapter, part number CAB-C5G, will install easily to your fifth wheel king pin and your 2-5/16 inch gooseneck hitch ball.

I recommend the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch for Ram Towing Prep Package part # BWRVK3600 over the Curt A25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch for Ram Towing Prep Package part # C16046 because of it's higher weight capacity, 1" thick jaw and cam action handle.
The Curt A25 and B&W are very comparable in quality and are both great options to tow the fifth wheel however, the B&W is going to provide you with an extra 1,000 lbs of weight capacity if you ever decide to upgrade your fifth wheel to... view full answer...
Yes, the Convert-A-Ball Cushioned 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Adapter # CAB-C5G would clamp onto the king pin of your fifth wheel's pin box allowing you to tow using the gooseneck ball in the bed of your 1997 Ford F-250. That being said it has the following stipulations:
1. Not recommended for use with Reese Elite Series gooseneck trailer hitches. Verify the brand of your gooseneck hitch.

The Ultra-Fab 5th Wheel King Pin Tripod Stabilizer, # UF19-950001 is going to work properly with a Trailair such as # LC158778.
