You DO NOT want to get a slider hitch with the RAMBOX. I have a buddy who did the same thing but used a Demco 5 th wheel hitch. The issue is only that you lose the area above the wheel wells but if you get a hitch that has a handle that either rotates or that can be modified you are good. Hopefully this will help others that have a short bed with a RAMBOX setup that have been told it can't be done, well it can but you just have to work at it. I will get the lock tab welded back on soon but for now good to go!. I did have to modify the handle of the Curt Hitch as it had too much pull distance but that was easy, just drilled a new hold for attaching and then cut it back a couple inches. Tracked well and very easy to hook up and take down. All I can say is that it towed great going for a quick spin around the neighborhood. My neighbor and I installed the Sidewinder on my Arctic Fox 29-5E. I have a Bakflip bedcover and it fits perfect over the hitch. Very good to work with! I had the hitch installed yesterday by a shop close to me and they also installed a wiring kit into the bed of my truck in a spot that did not affect the RAMBOX or the bed. My setup is a Curt 16K Hitch with bed rails using the frame kit and what really makes it work is using the Reese 5th Airborne Sidewinder I bought the Hitch and install kit off Amazon and got a great price on both. It was a challenge but I finally got it done. So they said it couldn't be done.tow a 5th wheel with my RAM the way I have set up, short bed with RAMBOX. I know that someone else on here had this issue so I thought I would chime in better late than never!
