Are Capture Plates Needed When Using the Demco Autoslide With a Lippert Road Armor Pin Box
Question:
Hi, I am looking at the Demco Autoslide 5th Wheel Hitch with Demco Premier Series Above-Bed Base Rails Part Numbers: DM8550040,DM8552028-71 for use with my 2022 F-150 4X2 SUPERCREW / 5.0 / 145 wheelbase with 5.5 bed. The trailer king pin is a LCI Road Armor 2022433400. Will I also need Demco Autoslide Capture Plates Item # DM6171? I can send pictures of the pin if needed. Also, what air bags would you recommend for the 2022 F150 using this rail kit? Thank you

Yes, you are going to also need the Demco Autoslide Capture Plates for Trailair Rota-Flex Pin Boxes # DM6171 when using the Demco Autoslide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Slider # DM8550040 with your Road Armor pin box.
For a suspension enhancement I recommend checking out the SumoSprings Rebel Custom Helper Springs # SSR-129-47-2. These springs do not require air, has 5,000 lb of load leveling capacity, an easy bolt on install, and is made proudly in the USA.
