Can't access front storage when hooked up to long bed truck.

We can't get into our front storage when hooked up. This is where the batteries are located plus hydraulics. Is this a huge issue? Is a slider hitch our only solution? What problems could come up?

I also have a long bed and can access the front compartment of my 5vr when hooked up.

What positioning is hitch installed in truck bed?
Over rear axle, forward of rear axle

What type of pin box........medium/short would put rear of truck closer to front of 5vr



Change pin box .....no slider needed with long bed
