Yes, a Reese Sidewinder Pin Box and Reese OEM 5th Wheel Hitch, #RP30918, can work together on a 2017 Ram 3500 with 6 ft. 4 in. bed with the #RP44FR wedge kit. If your original pin box was the Lippert 1621, then the Reese Sidewinder 5th Wheel King Pin…

The hitch I would highly recommend is the Reese part #RP30918. This fits directly to the rail kit of your 2015 Ram 3500 and has a 20k capacity. To prevent chucking/noise this hitch uses a hook which grabs the king pin and holds it tightly which…

Answer 10

The hitch does not have to be specific to the Sidewinder; however, certain fifth-wheel hitches are not compatible with Sidewinders. Sidewinders cannot be used with a 5th wheel hitch that mounts to a gooseneck hitch, the Curt Q or A series hitches, or…
