Which 5th Wheel Mounting Kit for Demco Hijacker Autoslide on 2008 Ford F-350 Short Bed
Question:
I just bought my first 5th wheel. I have a 2008 Ford F-350 SD Crewcab 7 ft bed. Sellers provided a Hijacker ultra slide above bed hitch system. I believe I need a frame mounting kit ? Please let me know what I should buy to install the 5th wheel hitch. Product number is FWH 24PA

To install a Demco Hijacker Autoslide # DM8550037 on your 2008 Ford F-350 short bed you'll need the Underbed Rail and Installation Kit for Demco Hijacker UMS 5th Wheel and Gooseneck Trailer Hitches # DM8552001-71. This kit provides you the above bed installation rails needed to mount your Hijacker.
If you don't already have a 7 way plug in your truck bed, adding one provides you a much more convenient plug in location for your 5th wheel trailer's wiring; you can add a 7 way plug using the Demco 5th Wheel/Gooseneck 90-Degree Wiring Harness with 7-Pole Plug - 10' Long # DM8555002.
I've linked a short review and installation video of this system for you to check out, as well.
