Looking at a megacab dually 07 what slider are you guys using? I dont really want to buy a superglide. Thanks

 

I have a SWB Laramie, not a Megacab but I have a Valley (AKA Huskey) slider hitch. I used it on my '98 for 8 years, then moved it to my '06. I did replace the hitch head this year because I found a crack. It could have been welded but it had over 55K miles pulling so I just replaced it. The slider portion has always worked perfectly (except once when I had it in a bind) although, truth to tell I seldom actually use it. Probably a dozen times in 8 years with the old truck and 2 or 3 times with this one. It is manual, not automatic which would be nice but not for the extra $, IMO.

this is how i handled the slider issue with my mega cab







sorry i cant be of anymore help

 

I'm running a Reese 15K manual slider in my short bed, No problems with it and it's hell for stout!!!

 

Go with the pull rite you wont regret it

 

What a smart , . The only thing I wold have done different is 19.5's. Every time I see your truck it makes me go hmmmm maybe I should do that.

 

if you don't want to spend the money on the superglide, then check out www.fifthairbourne.com. click on the link for the sidewinder pinbox. i currently have a 16k reese slider. if i would have known about the superglide when i bought mine i probably would have bought it. i have made contact with my cab once. just crinkled the rear pillar a little no broken glass. once you decide on the hitch then take the truck and trailer to an open lot or dead end street and make turns with someone watching the pinch poit at the cab. while you're making your turn count how many turns to the steering wheel you did, then you know how sharp of a turn you can make.

lol sorry man wqs just messin

i would have went with 19.5s but the truxk was a 3500 srw to begin with so had to convert to dually and u cant convert 2 times ( from srw to dually then to ten lug )

 

I don't understand why you aren't interested in the Pullrite superglide hitch. It's worked great for me the last two years.

 

if cost is a concern i saw a superglide on ebay for $1200...

 

I know you don't want a superglide,,,,,

But I got to say I love mine and it was worth every penny.

The cost of a standard hitch, and the Fith Airborne Sidewinder is darn near the same as a Superglide. So there's no big cost savings in that choice.

 

I just got a superglide and so far, I LOVE it!!! Well worth the money!

 

How did the install go ? Any problems ?
