There isn't anything longer so if you want to improve your turning clearance, what you'll need is a Sidewinder to replace your Lippert 111 pin box, with the correct fit being the following:

- Reese Sidewinder 5th Wheel King Pin with Rotating Turret # RP77FR

This will move the pivot point backwards 22 inches which gives you the needed clearance so your trailer doesn't smash into your truck window.
