Question:

I am wanting to install the reese sidewinder on my 2021 Wolf Pack 365pack16. I dont really trust the wedge held in by 2 bolts. So I would like to use this welded wedge. I would like to use it with the demco recon 2100. One more question do you know which pin box is on my trailer so I know which sidewinder to get Ill attach a picture of the sticker on the pin box.

Thank you for the photo, I reached out to Lippert with that information and they confirmed you have a Lippert 1621 pin box. You can use the Sidewinder # RP34FR as a replacement for that pin box. This will move the pivot point back 22 inches for turning clearance. There is a specific wedge # RP74FR that is compatible with your Demco Hitch, but it does use the 2 bolts to secure in place. We haven't had any issues with the bolted wedges not working perfectly, so I wouldn't hesitate to use it. If you want to weld something to the box as you referenced, there isn't anything we can offer for that fit.

Your Demco Recon 21K hitch # DM8550043 will work well with this pin box. The Recon hitch will work well as long as you have a hitch that uses base rails. If you have the gooseneck adapter hitch, it will not be compatible with a rotating pin box like a Sidewinder.
