The Demco Hijacker Autoslide 5th Wheel Hitch w/ Slider - Single Jaw - Ford Super Duty Prep Package - 21K # DM8550038 is a great hitch that we don't often hear issues about regarding chucking and porpoising. An air ride pin box like the TrailAir will help mitigate that for sure, you will just need to check your current pin box for the sticker with the number on it so we can get you the correct fit. I've linked the page to your options and also have attached an article to help with determining fit based on measurements if a pin box number isn't easy to find.

If you decide on a TrailAir Rota-Flex versus the Air Ride pin box, you will need the Demco Hijacker Autoslide Capture Plates for Trailair Rota-Flex Pin Boxes # DM6171. The Air Ride uses the capture plates that come with the hitch.

As far as the height adjustment for your bed rails, you can adjust the hitch up and adjust the pin box to get you the clearance needed. If you need more height it may require increasing the height of your trailer itself. Make sure your trailer is level when determining these adjustments.

Let me know how you'd like to proceed and I'm happy to assist.
