Since a lube plate will not fit with the Demco Hijacker Autoslide Locking Plate for MOR/ryde Pin Boxes part # DM6025 when you use the Demco Hijacker Autoslide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Slider part # DM8550035 you will want to grease the top plate surface of your Hijacker with a thin layer of grease. I recommend the UltraLube LMX # L11390 or # L11312 grease.
