Note: When using this slider, your hitch head will not adjust to the lowest height setting.
Most often used on trucks with 6' and 6-1/2' beds, this slider helps to eliminate clearance problems during slow-speed turns. When you are towing a fifth-wheel trailer, your hitch must be situated on the cab side of your truck's rear axle. However, at slow speeds you can use a slider to slide the fifth-wheel hitch (and the trailer) toward your truck's tailgate and past the rear axle, creating enough space between the cab of your truck and the trailer to permit less-restricted turning.

Not a big deal went to hardware store got nuts and lock washers
Looks to be built solid, time will tell when I have a chance to pull our 5th wheel.
Dave at etrailer is awesome! He is one of the reasons we keep coming back.
I originally purchased the R16 slider for my A16 hitch 3 seasons ago. I was never really happy with the R16 because the design of the slider induced a lot of chucking during stops and starts. The tolerances between the rollers and rails were so bad you could literally move the slider up and down a good 1/4 to 1/2" on the rails without a trailer attached to the hitch. Curt introduced the new S20 and claimed that it eliminated almost all chucking, so I thought I'd give it a try. The tolerances on the slider rails on the S20 are much tighter than on the R16. After our first trip with the S20, I will say the chucking was significantly less. I know you can't remove all the chucking - it's inherent in a 5th wheel hitch. But I am pretty pleased with it at this point. The reason for 4 stars is that I'm disappointed(?) I had to buy another slider to eliminate a problem that Curt should have fixed in the first place.
