Turning angles are also dependent on the height/distance relationship between the rear of the king pin assembly and the side/rear of the bedrails. Even long bed trucks can have their turning radius reduced/limited if the rear portion of the king pin assembly sits too low in relation to the bedrails during a turn.

Yes and yes. Worked good with b&w 4" extension. I could turn past 90 on 6.5' Ford bed and avalanche 5th wheel. I can get way past 90 on my long bed with no extension

Thanks very much! What kind of clearance did you have between the bedrails and the bottom of your Avalanche? Were you in the lowest mounting hole on the pin box? Since the 2017 Super Duty has 1" taller bed sides this concerns me

Thought I had better try over here too but you are right I specifically need info from those with GD Reflections if I can find it.
