I spoke with my contact at Curt and he said the lowest height possible of the Curt A20 5th Wheel Hitch, # C16541, when used as a slider is 17-1/2 inches, and that the adjustment increments are 2 inches.

Yes, the puck system used on the 2016-2019 Chevy/GMC trucks is different than the pucks used on the 2020 and newer trucks. So you would need a 5th wheel like the B&W Companion #BWRVK3710 for your 2020 GMC Sierra 3500 with an 8' Bed. If you…
