Fifth Wheel Rail Kit Recommendation for 2006 Ford F-250 Long Bed
Question:
Yes, mine is the 2700. Yeah, I know I don’t need the super glide hitch. I have it from an old dodge I had. Will that hitch still work in my long bed even though it slides? I believe there is a way to lock the slide on it if I remember correctly. It’s been a while since I’ve used it.

There are some versions of the Pull Rite Superglide hitches like the 2700 that are designed to fit the industry standard fifth wheel rails like the part # RP30035 that you referenced. You'd have to check to see what you have or get back to me with your hitch number. Since you have a long bed truck you really wouldn't need a slider hitch like the Superglide as they are designed for giving short bed trucks turning clearance.
The part # Rp30035 is a confirmed fit for your 2006 Ford F-250 long bed but this is a universal style of rail kit so the install will be a bit more involved and longer. For a kit that would install in about half the time and minimize drilling the custom kit part # RP50082-58 would be a better option.
