5. Trucks come in many different configurations. Cequent Performance Products, Inc. hitches are designed for use in light trucks
such as the Ford F-Series, the Chevy Silverado and the Dodge Ram. Cequent Performance Products, Inc. recommends the
use of light trucks with beds 6ft. long or longer for the best combination in truck - trailer turning clearance. See website for
vehicle application.
NOTE: To prevent the trailer from hitting the cab with the trailer turned 90°, the center of the hitch should be at least 52in. from the
back of the cab when using a long bed truck. (Actual distance required will depend on trailer width and king pin location.) Short
bed (Minimum 38in. from back cab to axle center line) trucks require a minimum of 13in. extended pin box (Figure 5) or a

SIDEWINDER
Pin box or slider hitch assembly for regular maneuvers.
Rule of thumb:

Conventional Pin Box
Do Not install this fifth wheel hitch on or attempt to tow with a short bed pickup
truck that has a bed shorter than 6 ft. unless trailer is equipped with a Sidewinder
pin box!
6. The height of the hitch and the pin box should be adjusted so the trailer is approximately level as it is towed. Allow
approximately 6 in. - 9 in. clearance between the top of the bed rails and the underside of the front of the trailer for pitch and roll
of the trailer. (Figure 6). Allow more clearance between pickup walls and trailer for off road use.
Figure 6
The measurements above are guidelines. If your measurements are close to these numbers re-check clearances. If
vehicle and/or trailer has any added bed vicinity accessories (i.e. fairings, air dams, ground effects, bed rails, fuel-cells,
toolbox, etc.), additional dimensioning and clearance checks have to be made.
