We have a great auto slider fifth wheel hitch solution for your 2018 GMC Sierra 3500 short bed with the factory rail kit but it does require a rail kit adapter. For that we have the Demco Hijacker Autoslide part # DM8550034 which has an 18k capacity and slides back 14 inches as you make tight turns. The adapter you'd need then is the # DM6194 which fits the rail kit of your truck and provides the rails for the hitch.
The rail kit fits tight to the truck so you wouldn't have any movement/noise issues going this route.
