• Necessity To Replace Spring on Reese 15K 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch

You will want to replace both springs at the same time. I have attached a diagram that shows how the springs attach in the he

• Replacing Fifth Wheel Hitch and Compatibility of Base Rails on 2010 Ford Pickup
  
• Since your Fifth Wheel hitch is 15 to 20 years old and is exhibiting some wear, it sounds to me like it needs to be replaced. Any time you see wear on the hitch like that, the material might have been weakened over time and is most likely no longer safe to use.

• How Many Springs are Needed Inside the Head of the Reese 15K 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch
  
• You would need 2 springs, # 30776, for the 15K Reese 5th wheel hitch. One spring attaches to the handle assembly and the other is for the jaws of the hitch. Take a look at the picture I have included that shows the springs in their positions. The Reese 15K hitch is no longer made so the stickers for it, when it was new, are not available. But if you can tell me the approximate age of the hitch or the part number if it is on it anywhere, I may be able to find some.
