Best hitch (non-slider)
I have been using the Superglide for about 10 yrs and have lost touch with the non-sliders. I am going to a long bed dually and would like to install the best hitch available. Any suggestions?

Bumping this to ask another opinion. I'm setting up a 2013 F450 for a 5'r with a 23.5k gross and 4k+ pin weight. The truck will have airbags. After reading through many posts references and manufacturer sites, I am leaning toward the Pullrite OE Series (25k max) and Trail air pin box. The trailer is "3-axle" MorRyde IS Suspension (no traditional axles).
I'm wondering if I can further improve smoothness of ride by going with an air suspension hitch or if that would be overkill? Very impressed by Hensley's, but I'd have to go with their biggest unit - weighing 360lbs, which would be self defeating in terms of being able to use the truck as a pickup while parked (too much work to remove) and that is an important consideration.
Interested in others thoughts. Thanks.
The setup you are leaning towards is exactly (except for the MoRyde)what I'm running now. It glides like the Queen Mary on calm seas :) Not saying a Hensley wouldn't be even better, but I don't find anything objectionable (or even questionable) as it is...
PS. BTW, I had the same consideration as you. The OE pops in and out easily and I lift it with a small chain hoist and lower it onto a furniture dolly to move it around the garage.
PSS. By the way, that's a heavy trailer...
