i pull with my shortbed crew cab. and i get just as much turning room as any longbed. dont place the ball directly over the rear axle. put it just in front of it. i also have a rather large toolbox in my bed and i dont ever have problems. i understand one would think it would alot diff when pulling with a crew to a mega but there's really not much space wise diff. a short bed is a shortbed.

i tow my gooseneck with a regular ball but when i hook to the camper i use a pullrite auto slider. i have too. they are noway it will turn without it. the pullrite automatic slider is a very good hitch.

Here is some stuff I found when I was lookin for a hitch for my truck.
Gooseneck Hitch Extension | B & W Trailer Hitches
4" Extender - Turnoverball
That should solve your problem.

I have pulled both a 5er and a Gneck with my short bed. No problems but they make different overhangs with 5ers, and some will contact the cab.
