Depending on the hitch plate install location, the offset could move the king pin behind the truck's rear axle. While the Super 5th OEX can be used with these shorter bed trucks, keep in mind that PullRite only recommends the use of a SuperGlide slider hitch for any towing application without 100% cab clearance.
BASE MODELS The Super 5th OEX is available for Ford, Ram, and GM trucks with OE hitch mounting system (years listed below).

DO NOT OPERATE HITCH UNTIL YOU READ THIS SECTION! HEAD PLATE ASSEMBLY The Head Plate must be lubricated before each trip or as need- ed. PullRite recommends using a light lubricant spray such as WD-40 or 3-IN-ONE Oil to prevent the attraction of dust and debris.
ATTACHING ROCKER ARM TO COLUMN The Head Plate sits on the Rocker Arm. Attach the Rocker Arm to the Column by following the steps below. 1. Apply a light coat of general purpose grease to the Pivot Bolt shaft and set it aside. 2.
FRONT TO BACK COLUMN ADJUSTMENT All Super 5th OEX hitches are adjustable front to back and can place the head plate behind the axle, allowing 4" of rear- ward offset. The OEX forward position is in Figure 1, but if you find the best position for towing is with the head plate closer to the tailgate (Fig.
Page 11
FRONT TO BACK COLUMN ADJUSTMENT 6. Remove the (4) 5/8" X 6" hex bolts holding the Column Plates (Fig. 6) 7. Turn the top and bottom plates to the rearward position (Fig. 7). 8. Replace the (4) 5/8" X 6" hex bolts and set the coulmn through both plates in the rearward position. Place column hitch pin through the height adjustment hole into desired height position.
HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT The Super 5th OEX is height adjustable and can be set in three positions. Refer to the illustration below, following each step below to adjust your hitch’s height: 1. Loosen the two Rocker Arm Column jam nuts as well as the two bolts on the passenger side and driver side. It is not necessary to remove the bolts, just back out about two complete turns or until the column is loose in the base.
HITCH INSTALLATION Place the OEX post holes directly over the pucks. The hitch head opening should be facing the tailgate. You will be able to adjust OEX foot plates so that each Mounting Post drops into place as you go around the hitch. 1.
HITCH INSTALLATION 4. Rotate handles 90º (Fig. 4), posts may need to be adjusted as explained below in MOUNTING POST ADJUSTMENTS. 5. After Inserting and locking all posts (Fig. 4), tighten the adjustment plates on the OEX feet to 13 foot pounds. 6.
HITCHING WARNING: Never perform any of the following actions while any part of a person is between the vehicle and trailer. 1. Align your truck with the center of the trailer. The truck should be close to parallel to the centerline of the trailer. 2.
