My son has a 2017 Ram 2500 with slider but with a 2017 5th wheel. He has the B&W slider and has never needed to use it, But the older the 5th wheels may have less curve to the nose, your situation may be different.
The B&W slider is very heavy, he has a simple block and tackle in his garage, just lifts it out and puts it on a dolly and rolls into the corner of the garage.
I have the fixed B&W which is still heavy and put mine on a dolly I made that is the same height as my tailgate, set it on that and roll it in a corner. Very little lifting.
