The trucks that have clearance issues with the pin box of the trailer when turning typically are the Ram trucks that have the Ram Boxes. For those applications the Sidewinders like the part # RP61412 will work as it moves the pivot point up higher and the pin box basically always faces direction of traffic.
Sidewinders are pin box specific so you will first need to know what pin box you have now in order to pick out the correct one.
There should be a sticker or a stamping on the OEM pin box of the trailer that will list the pin box number that is on the trailer.
Once you figure out which pin box you have you can check the FAQ I attached that has a chart that shows the correct Sidewinder to get based on which pin box you have.
