I've got a rail mount Andersen hitch in my short bed Ram and I love it. It's light, very well constructed and it's rock solid in terms of how it tows. My cab clears fine, and my fifth wheel isn't one of the newer ones with the rounded front-end. I think between the offset ball and the kingpin adapter you get about 8" of total offset.
The hitch itself only weighs about 35 lbs so it's very easy to get it in and out of the bed.
Bonus: it's made right here in Idaho.
I have looked at those and like them. They offer no provision for a cushion buffer to prevent the chucking and such that can harm both nerves and trailer frames. I am thinking the Trailair or Airborne pin boxes would be a no-no on these. I really don't want to move the trailer back unless I'd have to. But the Anderson is still on my page of thoughts.
