Was going to get the 5th Airborne sidewinder.Re: Bed rail height? Is 59" too tall?I was going to use the B&W Companion,but saw last night it's not compatible with the sidewinder (too much torque on connection point). Have to use the Patriot with rails.Bed rail height? Is 59" too tall?Bought a 14 Ram 2500 Diesel with Ramboxes installed. I would like to tow a fifth wheel and have done quite a bit of research. I measured some 5ers at the dealership and found aywhere from 58 to 62.5 inches of clearance as they sat on landing gear. My bed is at 39" and rails at 59". With the rambox option the B&W Companion looks like a nice setup with a Reese 5th Airborne pinbox. Anybody using this setup or have any insight on my height? I'm concerned that if I find a used 5er that I like how can I be sure I can tow it once I go to pick it up? Seems to be a lot of parameters here....Re: New 5th wheel & now new Tow Vehicle Cummins12V98 wrote: No pucks, add them! Now get the GM version of this and be happy. No silly color coding no binding when un even just simple solid NO question if you are hitched system. Look at the 1" thick machined jaws, if it looks like pic below and handle is closed and pinned/locked it's hitched no question. Oh if it matters B&W is 100 percent US Made. REESE/CURT not so much, Made in China. This looks like it would work well with Rambox due to the handle dimension/angle...
