What 5th Wheel Hitch Matches The Below Bed Rails On My 2004 Dodge Ram Pickup

Question:

I have a 2004 Dodge Ram 2500 4 door short bed. It has 5th wheel rails under the bed 4- holes cam lock style. Dimensions are Center to center side to side 29 1/2 front to back 13 1/2 I can’t find a fifth wheel to fit dodge. No base dimensions are given for any brand online that I can see. Please help if you can. I didn’t want to buy a whole set up and cut my bed up more.

I did some online research it appears you have Demco below bed rails, part # DM8551005. I gave Demco a phone call and their representative confirmed it. I recommend one of the two Demco Hijacker Autoslide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Slider - Single Jaw - Underbed, we offer. The differences between these two options are their weight ratings. They are the

18K Autoslide, part # DM8550022
21K Autoslide, part # DM8550037

The Demco Autoslide automatically slides rearward to give you an additional 14" of clearance for your trailer. Most 5th wheel hitch systems with a slide function require you to get out of your truck to manually make that adjustment.

I have included product description links and video demo links below.
