I see that you have a MegaCab short bed, I had a 14, if pulling a 5er you need an Auto sliding hitch. Demco and PulRight male them. I had the PulRite but if getting one again I would be looking at the Demco. There will be people that will tell you that you do not need an auto slider. Ask them if they will sign a statement that they will pay for repairs if you hit your cab and window!
Happy Camping.

I find it very interesting that there are a lot of back yard know it all telling others what to do to their trucks "and still be legal'.
It does not matter if the truck is level after airbags, gears and what ever else. What matters is that door sticker on the truck and the sticker on the trailer when you are involved in an accident, whether it is your fault or not. If you are over weight on the truck GVWR and or GCVWR, You the owner are in trouble not the person giving such great advice.
