Thank you for your help. I guess I was trying to find something a little lighter. It feels that the Pullrite might ben a bit of overkill for a 5th wheel that is 7500 lbs dry....so I imagine 8500 - 8700 loaded.

I rechecked the box size.... inside is 6.2 ft
and I measured from what I believe to be the centre off the axle to the rear of the cab, and it appears to be 37 inches.
