Advice needed -- will I regret a shortbed w/ 43' trailer?

It just seemed to transfer weight from the hitch area towards the downhill steering tire. I have to admit the dually tires really help. I tried my friends long bed srw before I bought my long bed dually.
As far as a slider hitch in a sb, there are thousands of posts on that. I have friends that have had their back windows blown out by turning and hitting bumps at the same time. I had two short bed trucks with sliders and never broke anything. Plus when extended, they are easier to maneuver when backing.
