I have a 3/4 crew cab Silverado classic with a standard box 6 1/2 foot box. I currently have a b&w turnover ball and thinking about getting the companion or companion slider. Either way do I really need a slider? Half the people I talk to say yes the other have say no. I have narrowed down my camper to a sabre silhouette 320fbqu it doesn't have the stickers on the front saying 88° but my salesman is saying it is and I'll be able to get 88 without sliding. I would only need slider for 2 extra degrees which I would be unhooking anyways. Id greatly appreciate anyone's input or thoughts!! Just sold the TT and very excited to move up to a 5er. Thanks guys!!!
I'm a firm believer in erring to the side of safety...."Better to have a slider and never use it, then to not have one and need it....I had a short bed Chevy 2500 extended cab some years back and because I opted once to not use the slider, I put a dent in the back of my cab toward the drivers side above the rear window....
Some will say no....if you have an extended pin box...may be ok...IF your 5er has the indentations on the sides of the front cap, you may not need a slider...BUT, having paid for not using one ONCE when I should have, I would say get one if your 5er doesn't have what I just mentioned above..."Better safe than sorry"....
