I would be looking at Montana, Grand Teton, and other larger fifth wheels. The problem is the short box and 2500 series.
There are fifth wheel hitches that will automatically slide forward when you make a turn over about 25 degrees. This will keep the front of the fifth wheel from joining you in the cab through the back window.
If you do pick out a really heavy fifth wheel, you might be also picking out a dually truck. So keep that in mind. You might start out with a fifth wheel that is in the 30 - 34' range, then move up later with a dually truck. But you might find with dual slide outs, that there will be plenty of room for two in a 34' fifth wheel, and you can watch the front end weight to reduce the pin weight, and keep using the 2500 truck for a while.
To bad that the Titanium is still not being made, it has a well balanced fifth wheel, and does not have a super high hitch weight. They sell a 34 - 36' with only a 1,800 pound pin weight, in part because the fresh water tank is near the trailer axles.
You might check
RvSearch.com and look for Glendale RV or Titanium fifth wheels, and see if one is for sale in your area. Take a look at one, it will work well with your truck.

Money can't buy happiness but somehow it's more comfortable to cry in a
Porsche or Country Coach!
If there's a WILL, I want to be in it!
