You might consider the Andersen Ultimate Hitch. That's what I use in my short box and it gives you a 5" set back, which helps in the sharp turns. Depending the the 5er cap design it might not give you 90 degrees but it does help. The hitch comes in 2 installation designs for either attaching to a goose neck ball or standard hitch rails and is light and very easy to remove/install (also rated at 20k). Nose design and hitch height are variables that can also allow for tighter turns.

With my previous 5er and the same truck I could easily turn 90 degrees. This new Monatana won't allow that. I haven't figured out my tolerances yet but I know I've got to be more alert in the tight turn.

As always, just pay attention. Having a spotter while parking is also helpful.
