slider hitch
How many people that have a slider hitch have used it and how often? Short bed trucks. I hear trailers are made so you don't need it but just wondering who has used and under what circumstances? Tho...

I was all set on getting a Superglide but ended up with the Andersen and couldn't be happier. It moves the pivot point back about 5" from a conventional hitch and is plenty for me to safely get to 90* with my new 102" wide body 5er
Your 102" wide fiver needs 51" clear to swing 90* and miss the cab.
Cab to pumpkin on a 2500HD is 34", you have added 5" to that with the hitch. (This assumes you have installed the hitch per instructions such that it is over, or an inch or two ahead of, the rear axle.)
How do you get 51" into 39"?:h
My math says you are 12" INTO your cab at 90* so will hit LONG before you get to that angle.
Actually, cab to axle (C-A) is just under 43 inches for GM trucks with 6-1/2 ft bed. Has been that way since at least '89. Even so, 48 inches is less than 51" so there is still a problem getting to a full 90 degrees unless the front cap is scalloped.
