5th wheel hitch for 2014 Ram

I got a slider just in case and so far I've never had to use it. B&W makes awesome hitches.

Pulled my new fuzion 345 home yesterday with the b&w rvk3600 and sidewinder pin box. Great combination as I have about 8 inches bed rail clearance, the fuzion is maybe an inch high in the nose and I can do full lock turns and go to 90 in reverse. Only thing I'm maybe wondering about is if I should have went with with a fifth airborne sidewinder for some cushion

With the sidewinder hitch will it release tension on the trailer axles? I debated on a sidewinder and can see how it would move the trailer back easier.On my 20 k Reese I can remove the bolts to raise or lower the hitch. I'm around 6 inches from the bed rails and set level.

This is my first fifth...not sure about releasing tension on the axles?

I ordered the custom fit easy hitch with rails it fit my LML Duramax perfect on the standard bed. I though the rails where standard for all hitches.The dealers love to sell there high priced slider hitches. With today's newer RVS scallop to make the 88 degree turn. I had mine no a trial 5 day run and and was 5 inches from the cab. Make sure you get a hitch that will move from side to side it re leaves the binding on the hitch and trailer. I beleave the 16 k hitch and above will move in 4 directions.

I have a 2014 3500 megacab (6'4" bed) and am picking up our 2015 Fuzion 345 today. I also have the B&W RVK3600 hitch..I had them install a Sidewinder pinbox on the Fuzion as I did not want to risk hitting the cab in a tight turn...chose this combination because of B&W's reputation and I wanted to lock the hitch into the factory pucks. Thinking I should have maybe went with the fifth airborne sidewinder, but we will see how this does

If Superglide came out with a factory drop in for Ram (without using a PF), I likely would have went that way...it just seems that these new 4x4 trucks are so tall in the rear end that using the pic frame adapter and a superglide results in a nose high towing situation for most people...even with a pin heavy fifth...

Check into the Reese Sidewinder. Mine worked great on my 08 Ram short bed and now on my Ford.

Lots of great info, thanks everyone.
