Why would you not take advantage of the Revolution? If you use it, you don't need a slider of any type. In addition, the fiver reacts faster when backing up so it requires less distance to maneuver. When making turns, it will not cut inside the truck tires as much as other fivers, so you are less likely to hit a curb or other object. And finally, the length of the pin box that actually pivots is much less than any other extended pin box, therefore it is impossible for the back of the pin box to hit the tailgate or sides of the truck bed. These are all positives that are unobtainable with any other solution.
It sounds like the owner has a B&W Companion hitch, which cannot handle the revolution due to tortional forces exerted on the hitch. If the user had a patriot or any of the bases that use more than a single point of contact, then he/she wouldn't have that problem.
