short bed truck hitch help

I had am '06 F350SB with a standard B&W Companion on a turnover system (no slider). The trailer was equipped with king pin box (Atwood 72*)that was not extended like most of today's trailers but tucked under the front. The 5er did have a bit of a nose cutaway but not excessive. My 'fix' was to use that B&W with the arms pointed back which then moved the centerline of the hitch about 3-4 inches behind the rear axle. Now, before everyone piles on and says NO WAY, I aware that this is not the 'recommended' configuration. But this was not my first 5er to do that with as years back did it with a very early fiver, a '74 Kountry Aire, to clear the back bumper. It works just fine and after hauling these two trailers, many thousands of miles with absolutely no problem, will do it again if needed. I've never needed a slider. Nice, but is one really needed? Our driveway is probably the worst back in parking you can imagine as you do have to get close to 90*. I've never 'encountered' the cab's rear window in years of backing in, SB or LB 5er. Needless to say though, I really like my current long bed truck as it takes that unknown out of any list of potential problems.
