Expert Reply:
When it comes to a 18K swivel or slider hitch, take a look at our Demco Hijacker Autoslide, # DM8550034. This hitch slides automatically as you drive to give you an additional 14 inches of clearance for tight turns. Pricing and additional features are listed on the product page.
Universal Above-Bed Base Rails, # DM6071, are used to provide the necessary attachment points to install the Demco Hijacker Premier Series hitch. Since you are planning to install this hitch on a Ram 4500 with 10 ft flatbed, custom fabricated brackets will be needed since the standard brackets will not be tall enough. Installation would be custom and should be performed by a qualified professional.
