Question:
I am purchasing a 2008 GMC sierra 2500 short bed and also a 5th wheel. What would you recommend I get so I can get the best clearance on turns??

Expert Reply:
The fifth wheel slider that you will want will depend on the weight of the fifth wheel trailer you are pulling. If your fifth wheel is under 16000 lbs, a slider wheel hitch I would recommend is the Reese # RP30051 along with universal rail kit # RP30035.
Please let me know what you plan to tow and I would be glad to make a recommendation for you.
