Custom Fifth Wheel Wedges for Sidewinders
The Sidewinder and Fifth Airborne Sidewinder work by moving the pivot point of the truck and trailer form the fifth wheel hitch backwards up to 22". To do this, a wedge is slid into the trailer hitch along with the trailer king pin to prevent any rotation at that location. A universal wedge is included with the Sidewinder/Fifth Airborne Sidewinder that, with a little modification, will work with most fifth wheel trailer hitches. See the table below to check if you might need a custom wedge designed for your fifth wheel trailer hitch.
