You need to take a tape measure and measure from the king pin to the corner of the cap. Then measure from the center of the hitch to the cab and make sure you have clearance to a couple points on the cab not just the corner. You need 3 to 6 inches to clear the cab. My B&W hitch had to move it back one hole. I did some u turns with mine and never had a problem but one time I tried this move I ran out of luck. A slider would halved helped I guess but I probably wouldn't get out and slide the hitch back and I was on a hill so that probably not able to do anyway. I do however watch when I make sharp turns. I wouldn't purchase a slider. The B&W has adjustments to move the hitch back to compassionate for this.
