Just a thought for those who still use their pickup truck other than towing like we do sometimes. We normally leave the hitch in the truck, but when we need to remove it for a few hours to carry something else, we hitch to our 5th wheel, pull the pins, and raise the trailer until the hitch clears the bed. We then drive the truck out from under the hitch and lower the trailer back to level, leaving the hitch to hang off the king pin until we are done. Then just reverse the process to put it back in. I do not store it for long periods this way, but have left it over night before re-installing it. I would think this should also work with a air hitch but probably need to release the air to take the stress off the bags when hanging it but other that have air hitches can answer better than I.
