The Trailair Flex Air pin box part # LC328492 is a really great option that fits your 2017 Vengeance toy hauler model 377V that has a Lippert 1621 pin box currently. The Flex Air pin boxes provide the smoothest ride quality of all of the cushioned pin boxes available. It works great with slider hitches too. It does not locate the king pin in a different location though. You'd have same clearance with this as you did before.
The type of pin box replacement that provides additional turning clearance is the Sidewinder part # RP34FR which moves the pivot point back 22 inches. We have a cushioned version of this with the part # RP61422. With these types of adapter you actually wouldn't have to use a slider hitch anymore around tight turns. You could leave your hitch slid forward all the time or swap it for a fixed hitch.
