Who tows a 5th wheel with their short bed?
I pull with short box also and have had no issues (yet) but I have looked into a sidewinder hitch. It moves the pivot point from your hitch back to your kingpin position. Only thig is it sort of defeats the purpose of fifthwheel as it will create a little more sway as your pivot point will no longer be in the center of your rear axle.
