Lowest Height Automatic Sliding 5th Wheel Hitch that Fits 2020 Ram 3500 Short Bed with OEM Rail Kit
Question:
Im looking for the lowest height automatic slider hitch that fils the above vehicle with the factory mounting pucks. Currently the slider I have is 18inch and it will be too tall for the new truck if I use a puck adaptor or so I am told. Im looking to upgrade to a 2020 truck and I would like to use the factory puck mounts if possible. Realistically I need to be near 16inch to the top of the hitch. What options do I have?
