what Hitch

At a 90* angle, a longer pin box only moves the 5th wheel out, not farther to the rear from the cab. Cab clearance (or lack of same) at 90* is determined by 1/2 the width of the 5th wheel versus the distance from the pivot point (kingpin or ???) to the rear of the cab.

I have a 2001 28ft cardinal.
are there different slider hitches.
also can you change out the pin box to make it longer

In my 2014 Ram CC short bed I went with the anderson ultimate for weight savings and cost. With my new 2015 Montana HC I can go almost 90 without hitting, but get on a funky slope or loose concentration and pass the 90 and I think id hit the cab in a heartbeat.

I will look for a good deal on a used Superglide when the budget allows but for now I am happy and careful.

Did you order a 5th wheel prep package, not sure what Dodge calls it. Should have a 4 puck mounting system for the 5th wheel plate.

Factory prep B&W RVK3600 place head in rear position no slider needed with extended kingpin on newer RV.

Pullrite

There are many who have towed for years with short bed and no slider and never a problem. There are also those who have knocked out a back window or dented a cab.

If your trailer is 8' wide, and if measuring from the trailer to your truck is less than 48" at some point in a turn you will hit. Depends on angle of turn and if you are in a depression or not. Like what was said above it's good advise.

If you plan to do lots of traveling a air hitch does save a lot of wear and tear on the trailer, but they are pricy.

First off, what trailer do you have? It makes a difference.

NOT REESE!!! Those things are trouble

I would look at the Anderson Ultimate if you have a shortbed. I just put one in my FIL's truck and it made it where he no longer needs a slider at all. You are going to see guys next tell you the only hitch you can use is a B&W and they are great but that Anderson is a piece of art in it's simplicity and function

In my experience its better to have a slider and not need it than the other way round, cabs and rear windows get expensive to repair.... My Pullright came in useful when I least expected it to on several occasions. Nice truck by the way, you must post some pics of it when it comes in!
