For all who don't understand or know how the (IMHO the best slider/automatic slider money can buy) Pullrite wedge plate works. Here is what it looks like.
The one pictured was modified by me for quick install and removal.
Pullrite uses a somewhat different way of bolting on but accomplishes the same result.
This is the wedge on Pullrite wedge plate.

As you can see I've drilled two holes in the plate.

Here's the wedge plate bolted to my king pin plate.

I went one step further than relying on just two bolts. I use a pin system across the front of the wedge plate and pin box plate to pin them together.

It takes less than 5 minutes to install or remove.
Here's another false statement about a Pullrite Superglide Hitch.
"You cannot pull 5th wheel with a Superglide if the pin box doesn't have a wedge plate installed."
OH yes you can. All you need is a Slide Stop adaptor.
The adaptor is installed between the slide tubes and against the turn table in the front.

With the adaptor tightened and jam nutted in position the sliding action is stopped.
Now you have a fixed position 5th wheel hitch.
