Does it have the reach to pull a fifth wheel hitch out of a short bed truck? Would need to reach as far as the axel, center of bed.

removes the tailgate on the truck first then back into the extension should reach. measure from the back of the truck to the center of the fifth wheel and measure the full extension of the crane job . note that the crane is the same exact crane use to remove engines from the vehicles it's just been modified to mount to the fifth wheel

I believe it will. However, to make sure,I would re-look at the dimensions given on the website which show the arm length in the extended position. Also, remember that the arm at the hitch sticks out the back a ways. Thus, you need to do some measuring and calculating.

I assume you are trying to remove a bed cover from a 8' truck bed? The boom is not long enough to reach the center of the bed, to safely remove the cap. Might be possible to add an additional piece of tube to the boom to reach center of the cap, but weight capacity would be sacrificed. Don't think it would be a good idea. Got a big tree limb or can you add a lifting eye in a garage?

It will if your truck can be fitted with standard 5-wheel hitch mounting rails in the bed of your truck. This hitch does not come with the rails, need to purchase separately. We have been very happy with this hitch. We pull a 36' Cougar that weights over 12K. No issues.

This particular Dolly will not work for this situation as it doesn't drop the ball height near low enough to accommodate a 5" reduction between the wheels and the hitch.... How close to the ground does the hitch have to be to accomplish your 5" requirement??? Rest the hitch on a furniture dolly with plywood, etc....

Mine came with a "foot" that, depending on hitch height, will reach the ground. That being said, if loading your truck, pulling the pin to lift the foot mave prove difficult unless you use a bottle jack or jackall to assist. Cheers!

As Carey Randall stated, yes you can reverse the hitch; however, I'm not certain it would be a true 5" rise without measuring it.

Pull it out of what? It would pull one up my trailer. If you used a doubler it would pull one with flat tires up it. Would it pull a 2.5 ton truck out of mud up to the door handles? Probably not.

It would depend on where the 5th wheel hitch sits. If it is too far forward, there may not be enough room for it. Be sure to measure the space available in the bed of the truck in front of the hitch before you purchase this box.

The bolt that attaches the holdown to the frame goes through a factory drilled hole in the front corner of the bed and into the front bed mount on the frame. If you can see the hole in the bed from under the truck looking up through the frame bed mount, then the holdown should work the same as on a short bed.

No, leave the truck hitched, raise trailer and truck with jack until plate can be removed from ball shaft. The only time I have trouble is when I unhook and hookup at a diffent angle then just crank it up higher for more chain slack. Super fast no tools required and it works as advertised.

Yes, it can reach under beds but it works best if the bottom of the bed is 7 inches or more above the floor. If less than 7 inches, it can only go a short distance under the bed. Also, while it pushes forward easily, it does not draw back smoothly when the handle is held low enough to slide the vacuum under the bed.

This is the type of puller that grabs the studs. Didn't work very well for the four studs that I had on my Geo Prizm (designed for 5 studs wheels).You can use the center drive screw to pull the hub out or you can hook up a slide hammer which is what I did.

Yes it can be used that way but, it depends on the depth of the hole you are lifting out of. That being said I use a doubled come- a- long hoist instead of chain. That way you can use that to get the required lift to swing out of hole and re hook once out and load on to truck. Hope this answers your question.

It's actually "D" Load Range, but that was ok with my particular application. I haul a 2008 Jayco Baja Popup Off Road Camper with the one cargo platform. I 4x4 up a River Wash with large rocks and have never had a problem. Not sure how it would apply to hauling a 5th wheel trailer....

I can't say for sure because the shaft was too short for my Traverse and I no longer have the hitch. But maybe knowing it is a shorter shaft will help you. Also, the further away from your vehicle you can get your trailer, the more clearance you will have, for the most part. I have one now that works but I wish I had gotten a longer one, fyi.

I have it on a 4x4, F350 crew cab with a 5th Wheel hitch but would work just fine if you didn't have a hitch.
