I appreciate your help. I'm not going to go to a traditional 5th wheel hitch. It will be either the Anderson or Goosebox. Having to watch the clearance turning radius while not ideal is something I'm willing to deal with to have the bed of my truck back to normal with out heavy lifting after towing.
I have read about bed deflection using the Anderson also prior to this thread again something else I have taken into consideration.
If I cannot make the Anderson or Goosebox work I will even go to a gooseneck adapter. Regardless of the potential risks but that will be my last resort. Regardless of the risks there are hundreds of people the pull 5th wheels using a gooseneck adapter against the recommendations of lippert. I even had a dealer (not the dealer I purchased the 5th wheel from) suggest I use one. When I asked about the risks, he shook his head and said I've sold campers all my life seen dozens use that adapter and never have problems. But again that will be my last resort. Thanks to everyone with first hand experience that has responded.
