6' vs 8' truck bed

Howdy all,
Looking for some guidance. Do I have to have an 8' bed? I'm hearing that there is a hitch or two on the market that will allow me to use a 6'bed. I would have to special order an 8'. Thanks for your help...

    Need a long bed? No. A slider hitch will work. Downside, you loose 2 feet of useable storage, and you have to unlock to allow the slider hitch to work to allow the fiver to clear your trucks back window.
    Personally that extra 2 feet of bed space sure comes in handy. Biggest thing to worry about is sufficient truck for the fiver your going to get.
