short bed/Andersen ultimate/ ram factory prep/ no slider

This will be my first fiver. Getting a t.h. I just bought a 15 ram 3500 with fiver tow prep. I am talking the dealer into giving me a goose neck hitch so I'll have the ball. I was going to go with the Andersen ultimate fifth wheel hitch and then maybe get a side winder if I need it. Yeah I know get a slider. I wouldn't have a problem getting something like a pull rite superglide if it didn't give me a hernia along with all the other hitches. I already had one and don't need another.I want to be able to use my bed when not towing.haven't bought the t.h. yet so I don't have any other info. Just looking for input. If someone could recommend a light weight setup. Thanks

    I have the Ram pucks, and went with a curt 5w hitch with legs that fit the pucks. The hitch head comes off the legs with two pins. Makes things alot lighter.

    I didn't get a slider. My FW has the angled front cap, and on my test run, I could get around 80* before hitting my backrack. If I removed the rack, I would get 85*+ before hitting the cab.
