It would depend on if you have room to leave the tailgate up or not. On my Ram 3500 mega cab, when I slid the hitch back, I had to lower the tailgate, or the pinbox would hit it. And with the hitch in the rear position, there was plenty of room between the trailer and tailgate during maneuvering. Just make sure you remember to put the tailgate back up after you slide it forward. If you have room to slide it back without hitting the tailgate, then I'd say leave it up.
