To pick out a pin box replacement for your trailer requires knowing what pin box model you have on the trailer currently so that we can get you one that matches. For instance for a Leland 7920 pin box you can use the Trailair Air Ride 5th Wheel King Pin - Leland 7920 - 21,000 lbs # UF35-946208.
That said, since typically longer pin boxes aren't great solutions for adding turning clearance and we know you have a short bed truck and a Companion hitch your best solution is replacing the hitch you have now with a Companion slider part # BWRVK3400 so that you can have the turning clearance when needed.
