• Parts Needed to Install Reese Hitch # 30032 on a 2011 Dodge Ram 3500 Mega-Cab Dually
  
• Since the 2011 Dodge Ram 3500 Mega-Cab Dually is a short bed you will need to make sure that you will be using a Reese hitch that is a slider hitch. The slider is needed on a short bed truck to gain the clearance that is needed to clear the truck cab with the fifth wheel trailer when making tight turns. The Reese hitch # 30032 is a old part number. If it is not a slider hitch you will need to remove the hitch head and bolt it to the Reese Pro Series Fifth Wheel Slider, part # RP30092....

• 5th Wheel Hitch Options for a 2005 Ford F-150 with a 5-1/2 ft Bed
  
• The slider legs for the Pro Series 16K fifth wheel hitch are part # RP30092, however, we do not recommend using a sliding hitch on a truck with a bed shorter than 6 ft. A sliding hitch will not provide enough clearance to safely execute sharp turns on your 2005 Ford F-150 with a 5-1/2 ft bed. Instead, I recommend using a fixed fifth wheel hitch and adding a sidewinder pin box to your trailer. A sidewinder pin box will provide an additional 22 inches of clearance allowing you to make...

• Difference Between the Reese Slider # RP30048 and Pro Series Slider # RP30092
  
• The biggest difference between the Pro-Series Slider # RP30092 and Reese Slider # RP30048 is the number of rollers in the slider. The # RP30092 uses 4 rollers whereas the # RP30048 uses 6 rollers to provide a smoother sliding action. That is why there is a price difference in what seems like two very similar products. I attached installation instructions for both products.

• The best fifth wheel hitch option we have that would fit the same industry standard rails as the Reese # RP30092 and does offer forward to back adjustability is the B and Patriot part # BWRVK3200. With this hitch head in the forward most position the center of the king pin will be 4-1/2 inches ahead of the center between the rails.

• Need for Sliding Fifth Wheel Hitch with Short Bed Truck
  
• The hitch and trailer manufacturers recommend the use of a fifth wheel hitch with slider on trucks with beds between 6 and 8 feet long. The fact that your camper has an extended pin box will provide you with some more clearance, and improve the chances that your will be able to negotiate 90 degree turns without having the trailer loft strike the rear of your truck cab, but using a slider is still strongly recommended. You can use a Kwik Slide Fifth Wheel Slider for Fifth Wheel Trailer...

• Slider Recommendation for a Reese 15k 5th Wheel Hitch
  
• If it is a Pro Series 15K hitch, you should be able to un-bolt the head from the fixed legs and then bolt it to this slider, part # RP30092. You would lose the lowest hitch height setting when switching from fixed legs to a slider. If it is not a Pro Series model, you can use part # RP30048. It is built for standard Reese heads 15-18K. I spoke with my contact at Reese to confirm this.

Please note, if you are switching from fixed legs, you will lose the lowest head height position. I am including a link to the installation instructions on the Pro Series slider # RP30092.
