Haven't had a slider.NOPE not ever.
I too have a Sidewinder.Never have to worry can i make this turn or do I need to get out and slide it back.Just make the turn.I too have(had just traded it off)a 1/2 ton.5 1/2 ' bed.I would hit the side of the 5er with the side of the truck before the cab.Impossible to hit.Pulls good and I'm keeping it in the short bed mode in my new to me 3500 Mega cab.It too is a short bed albeit a 6 1/2'er.
