Expert Reply:
Since you have a long bed truck the Ranch Hitch part # AM3100 that you referenced would work well as you would have more than enough clearance between the cab and the overhang of the trailer.
Here's the formula though if you wanted to be sure.
(A + B) - C = Clearance
A = Distance from the gooseneck ball to the truck cab
B = Offset used,
C = Width of the nose of the trailer divided by 2.
