I would not be with out my long bed. I don't think you can make a complet 90 degree with the truck even with the pin box extention. Pulling is ok but backing I have had times when I was spun around pretty good.
Beside the extra room in the box is where keep my generator, compressor, Tool box and oiles. If you want to install an axilery fuel tank you will also need the room.
It woun't make much diferance in turning radias but it is something to think about too. The 05 Ford said they took 5' off the tuning Dia. and Chev came out with the Quad Steer so that is even more to think of. I sure wish mine turned better. There are also sliding hitches for short bed but your looking at 1 to 2 grand more for the hitch.
Just a couple pros and cons. Rick
