For the Demco Hijacker UMS Double Pivot 5th Wheel Hitch - Single Jaw - Ford Super Duty Prep Package - 21K # DM8550033, I recommend the Lippert Never Fail Whisper Disk Lube Plate for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches - 11-1/2" Diameter # LC286160. This disc is 3/16 inches thick and outlasts standard Teflon lube plates with extra-durable modified polyamide construction. If you just want a standard lube plate, I recommend the Curt Lube Plate for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches - 12" Diameter # C16722 which is also 3/16 inches thick.
My contact at Demco recommends using a lube plate no thicker than 5/16 inches for proper king pin connection.
