Jeff: Hello, everybody. This is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today, we're going to take a look at this Sidewinder Wedge Kit for the 20,000-lb Reese ELITE M-Series, or the ProSeries Fifth Wheel Trailer Hitches. Now, this wedge kit will prevent the Sidewinder kingpin from pivoting in your hitch. Again, it's designed to work with the 20,000 lb Reese ELITE M-Series, and ProSeries Fifth Wheel Trailer Hitches. Basically, this will bolt onto the Sidewinder in place of the universal wedge.
The wedge is what keeps that Sidewinder from pivoting at the fifth wheel hitch. Does have a nice durable black powder coat finish on it to help resist corrosion. If you notice it does come with the mounting hardware, the two bolts and washers, and a nice set of instructions describes how to install it. But that should do it for the review on the Sidewinder Wedge Kit for the 20,000-lb Reese ELITE M-Series, or ProSeries Fifth Wheel Trailer Hitches.

I am giving it 3 stars because I was told, by etrailer, I needed it for my Sidewinder pinbox. You do NOT if you are using the pinbox with a Reese hitch. The Sidewinder comes with the Wedge kit bolted to it.

Review from a similar Sidewinder Wedge Kit in Accessories and Parts
Having a Ram 3500 Megacab, short bed, I was terribly worried about hitting the cab with my Momentum toy hauler given it's 102" wide. My choice was slider or this Reese Sidewinder. I chose the Sidewinder and darn glad I did. It works as advertised and I can turn a full 90 degrees with about 5" of clearance between the cab and my front nose of the trailer. Some words of caution: this pin box is heavy! Get it professionally installed by your RV dealer. The wedges for your particular hitch will take some getting used too. Move wedge back to hitch, move forward to lock into place. Even still, I need to lay in the bed and have rigged up a heavy wire to assisting getting that wedge tight in the funnel. If you don't, the hitch will move on corners and you feel a big shift of weight.
Bottom line, I like it, it was the right decision for me and didn't take up any more payload than necessary unlike a heavy slider hitch. Recommended! And etrailer delivered on time as promised.
