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.

Thank you for letting us know. I have sent your information along to our customer service team.
What I expected. Great quality.
Great, but it is the same as the standard wedge that came with my Sidewinder.
I will need to return it.
The staff was very helpful and friendly. They made sure that I was ordering the right parts.
Had to take a metal file to remove some of the welded spots and paint for a proper fit. Manufacturer should take time for Quality control and proper fitment.
The Reese Sidewinder (20k) setup I use with my 2022 Ram 2500 with a 6.5ft bed has been fantastic! I paired it with the Curt A25 and the OEM puck bracket to pull my 43' 15500 GVW 5th wheel, and it does not disappoint. No need to slide my hitch or worry about cab contact for sharp turns. I can turn 90deg with no issues if needed and have experienced very little line up issues getting it hitched up (mainly a result of the factory air ride releveling before the king pin fully seated in the hitch head). Great engineering by Reese all the way around! For those who will ask, no additional trailer sway and no turning limitations.
Parts where on back order per information given by my 2 other vendors etrailer had it in stock and arrived on time before original ETA
As a owner of a small business etrailer is great to work with and always helpful.
Looks good will install tomorrow
I needed this due to the model of hitch I have. Works great! Installation instructions were spot on.
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.
This wedge kit works in conjunction with the Reese Sidewinder pin box. The fit was perfect and a very simple install. As always, etrailer had exactly what I was needing and was quick with shipping.
The wedge kit needed to use the Sidewinder has been amazing. I can't say enough about the whole Sidewinder hitch system. Makes towing, parking, even showing the hitch a breeze
This wedge kit is essential to the Reese Sidewinder pin box. It works great and, as always, etrailer has great service getting me this item in a crunch.
Sidewinder worked great for my short bed Ram. Be sure to get the matching wedge for your hitch.
Thanks etrailer. I will be using you for all my trailer components
I received the part I ordered the 1st time, the gentleman that took the order did a great job. When I called to follow up people were awesome with customer service.

I see that you have a Reese Revolution pix and this wedge is meant to be used if you have the part # RP34FR pin box. We do have a wedge that works with the Reese Resolution as long as you have a Draw Tite or Rees Select series hitch. It is part # SWW-03 on our site. If you have a different model of hitch please let me know and I will see if we have a custom wedge kit for it.
