Long bed vs. Regular Bed

I am switching from a 3/4 ton GMC 6.0L Crew cab standard bed, to a 1 ton GMC crew cab8ft bed diesel. My current fifth wheel hitch is a 15K rated slider unit. My max trailer weight is 11,200 lbs so the set up is plenty big enough.
Now that will have a 8 ft bed I shouldn't need the slider option for my set up.
Can I use what I have or do I need a need fifth wheel hitch.
