At this time, there is not a slider kit available for your 22K Reese 5th wheel. The best solution available is going with a 19K Sidewinder. If your total trailer weight is more than 19,000 pounds, you will need a new fifthwheel. The convention has been any one with a trailer over 18,000 pounds in weight would have an 8 foot bed truck, but truck manufacturers have started making trucks capable of towing that much in short bed models. The fifth wheel manufacturers have not caught up yet.
I have included a link to our Sidewinder page. You would use our chart and match your pin box number off the trailer to a Sidewinder part number.
