5th Wheel Hitch with RAMBOXES

I bet this thread gets moved, but does anyone know if there is a problem mounting a 5th wheel hitch in the shortbox of a 2013 2500 with RAMBOXES? I'm afraid I won't have room to slide the handle?

Thoughts, or does anyone have one installed with RAMBOXES?

Thanks!

That's a good question!! I'll say the hitch will go in but you won't get anything near a 90 degree turn out of it. My hitch sat high so the trailer mount moved above the entire gate and sides. The back of the trailer wasn't too low but was low - its 39 feet. I just lower the hitch one bolt and haven't hooked up so don't know if everything sits inside the bed or still moves above it. I can get almost a 90 degree turn, I'd imagine that RAMBOX prevents that. Ed

Excellent point! I knew that but had forgotten. I wonder, however, if an aftermarket 5th wheel would fit. Will have to do some research on this.

Thanks!
