Which slider hitch?

I will be getting a slider 5th wheel hitch for a shortbed and don't want to spend the money on a Pullright so what are your suggestions? I would prefer a 4 way tilt if I can lock out the side to side tilt and an under the bed frame/mount if thats possible. Thanks.

I have a Reese 16K slider and I like it. Never had any problems or heard of any problems.
I had them mount the handle for the king pin release downward so I can use my Tonnoe cover without removing the hitch, just a matter of drilling a differant hole. Good luck.

I have a Husky and I really like the slider. I can move the slide with the trailer weight on it. The dealer where I got my trailer and hitch were replaceing a Reese hitch slider that the owner tried slide with the trailer weight on it and bent the rails and messed up the bed of the truck. I'm useing it on a long bed but I use it to slide up so I can put more weight on the steering axel. It's a well built unit. The 16K have the double rocker.

If you want a under the bed mount type of system then check out the http://turnoverball.com/index.htm however you won't have a slider.
I don't think anyone has a under the bed slider setup because you need to be able to slide the hitch.

I've had a Reese 16K slider hitch for about 4 years now... No problems at all!
