Replacement Legs to Convert Curt A16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Slider to be a Stationary Hitch
Question:
I purchased this and installed it in my short bed F-250. Im looking to upgrade to an F-350 with a long bed. Can I convert this 5th wheel hitch to be used w/o the slider? Thanks!

Expert Reply:
Technically, you can still use the slider and just keep it locked in the forward position since you'll have a long bed. If you prefer to convert the slider of your Curt A16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C16521 use # C16920 for the legs.
If the old Ford F-250 and new Ford F-350 are both model year 2006 then you can use the same rail kit # C16448-204.
If they're different let me know the year of the new truck and I'll be happy to suggest the correct custom install kit.
