This Reese 16K 5th Wheel head assembly from ETrailer was resonably priced, was delivered on quickly and with no defects. The only issue was that a piece was missing from the shipment. I contacted Etrailer and the missing piece was shiiped out to me. I only give Etrailer 4 stars because of the missing part.

Can I Install Rubber Bumpers on the Front Side of the Reece # RP30047 5th Wheel Hitch
The rear bumpers on the on the Reese # RP30047 5th Wheel Hitch level when hooking your vehicle up to your 5th wheel trailer. These bumpers keep the head from moving too far back past level. The hitch head needs to tilt forward to allow the hitch to couple with the 5th wheel king pin. Installing bumpers on the front of the hitch will not allow your 5th wheel hitch to work properly.

Does Reese 16K Fifth Wheel Hitch Have Two Springs
The 16K Reese 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # RP30047 uses two Springs # 30776 though only one goes to the the Jaws # 58056. As you can see in the accompanying diagram, one of the springs goes from one side of the hitch jaws to the other. The side of the spring with the longer hook will attach to a pivot point on the flat rod closest to the jaws. The spring will then go the other side of the jaws and attach to a point just beyond the jaws. The other spring will attach to the handle from the...

I am not sure which pins that you need but if you are referring to the ones that hold the base to the rails then you can use part # 6014 but if you are referring to the ones that hold the head to the base then you can use part # PC2 (2).

Good news. I was able to go down to our store where we have one of the Reese 16K heads # RP58146 assembled and check out where all the Klip rings are mounted. There are actually 10 in total and some of them are sort of hidden, so I took some pictures and pointed out where they are for you, I have attached the images to the page for you.

Troubleshooting Reese 16k 5th Wheel Hitch Connection Issue with Custom Sidewinder Wedge
The Reese 16 K head # RP58146 will use the Sidewinder Wedge Kit for Pro Series 15K, 16K & 20K (2009 and newer) # 30850. This custom wedge will give you a precise fit, but you should not be needing to spend so much time to get the jaws to lock. That would absolutely drive anyone crazy, so I'm sorry that is what you are experiencing. I recommend removing the wedge to see if you still are having trouble without the custom wedge. If so that would indicate a hitch head issue versus a wedge...

Solution for Reese 16k Fifth Wheel Hitch Head that Needs Rebuilt
For the Reese 16k hitch that you have we do have the # 58056 which rebuilds the jaw kit and then the replacement spring part # 30776. If the whole head needs rebuilt though it's probably the best option to get the part # RP58146 instead which just replaces all of it.
