• Is a Wedge Available for a Trailair Pin Box to Use with the Demco Hijacker Autoslide 5th Wheel Hitch
  Although there are some wedges that Demco offers to use in conjunction with the Demco Hijacker Autoslide, like part # DM8550035, the wedges are made for specific specialty pin boxes and won't work with a standard pin box. For a standard pin box you need to use the capture brackets that already come with your 5th wheel hitch. If you want to upgrade your pin box to one that uses an air bag or shock to help enhance your towing experience just let me know what your pin box number is (like...

• Lube Plate Compatibility With Demco Sliding 5th Wheel Hitch
  If you are using a Demco manual sliding hitch like the Hijacker Premier # DM6076P-UL-21K then a lube plate like # RP83004 can be used. If you are using the Demco Hijacker Autoslide like # DM8550035 you can only use a lube plate that is a maximum of 3/16 inches thick so you can use the # RP83004 that is 1/8 inch thick.

  The Demco Hijacker Autoslide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Slider part # DM8550034 works with most standard pin boxes for the exception of Sidewinder or Revolution's. However, if you have one of the following pin boxes: Glide Ride, Mor Ryde, Trailair Tri Glide, Trailair Flexair, Rota Flex, and 5th Airborne then you will need a locking plate to prevent the kingpin from rotating inside your hitch. I have attached the correct locking plates for the above pin boxes for you below. MOR/ryde Pin...

• Does Demco Hijacker Autoslide Fifth Wheel Hitch Require Lube Plate
  You would not need a lube plate with a Demco HiJacker Autosliding 5th wheel trailer hitch because the hitch head will turn with the trailer pin box. The locking plate # DM6095 has a piece on the bottom that wedges into the hitch head funnel. Then the force of making the turn will rotate the head and engage the auto-sliding feature.

• New 5th Wheel Slider Hitch and Replacement Pin Box for a 1997 Ford F-250 and Keystone Raptor
  A Sidewinder pin box would be ideal but there isn't an air ride Sidewinder that is rated high enough for the gross trailer weight of your trailer. You do not want the pin box to have a lower capacity than what the trailer is rated for. What you can do is use a different hitch with an air ride pin box instead of a Sidewinder. If the hitch you have now fits in industry standard above the bed rails (see picture) you can use the Demco HiJacker # DM8550034 which offers 14 inches of travel. Then...

• Cannot Adjust Capture Plates To 1/8 Inches On Demco Hijacker Autoslide
  The Demco Hijacker Autoslide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches like part # DM8550034 are really only designed for pin boxes 12-14" wide. If you have a pin box that is narrower than this then the capture plate system would not be used but instead a wedge. The wedges however are pin box specific so I would need to know exactly what pin box you have in order to recommend a wedge. I have attached some options below: Standard 5th Airborne Pin Box Wedge part # DM6026 Extended 5th Airborne Pin Box Wedge...

• Is Locking Adapter Plate Needed for Demco Hijacker Autoslide on 2006 Ford F-250
  The Demco Hijacker Autoslide Locking Plate # DM6095 referenced in your question works with just the Tri-Glide model of the Trailair Pin Boxes. It is required for the Tri-Glide design in particular because the 3 steel rods on this model act as rollers, letting the bottom jaw glide forward and back during towing.
