For your Demco Hijacker Autoslide 5th Wheel Hitch w/ Slider # DM8550038 I recommend the Curt 10" Fifth Wheel Trailer Hitch Lube Plate # 16721. Prevent scratches on your fifth-wheel hitch's skid plate and ease trailer hookup by installing this heavy-duty lube plate. It simply slips over your trailer's king pin. If you do ever use a lube grease on your hitch or other towing products always make sure to use a white lithium grease like # L11350 to prevent any dirt or debris build up.
