Chucking?
As I research more & more I keep learning & the latest thing is chucking? What the cheapest way to prevent it?

Most chucking, if not all, can be prevented by moving the center of hitch forward of the axle. With short bed trucks, the tendency is to mount the fifthwheel directly on or behind the center axle. I have never experienced chucking in my own trucks. I have installed all my hitches 1"-2" forward of rear axle.
I will never own a truck to pull a fifthwheel with a short bed.
Have had both long and short bed pickups, both 1T.
Never had a real need for a long bed, so went with the SB in 2005.
PullRite Superglide (2005), MorRyde pin box.
Still have same short bed truck, same 5th, same hitch.
*NEVER* have had a chucking problem.
Installed by self per specs - which is about one inch *behind* the axle.
So, au contraire "eHofler":
I will never own a truck to pull a fifth wheel with a long bed.. :W
