Expert Reply:
Since you have a short bed and need a slider hitch the best recommendation I can make would be one that slides automatically as you make tight turns which will save you from having to get out and manually slide the hitch. For that the Demco Hijacker Hitch part # DM8550034 this will slide as you make tight turns and work very well.
This hitch is also designed to fit the Reese rails you have installed already.
