Question:

Hello, Can I install on my Reese Sidewinder king pin? I do not use the Sidewinder locking feature since I have a 8ft bed. Thanks.

Since you have an 8' bed and do not need the rotating feature of your Reese Sidewinder you can lockout the Sidewinder and then use the Convert-A-Ball Cushioned 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Adapter - 12" to 16" Tall - 20,000 lbs # CAB-C5G.

This will allow you to use a gooseneck ball to tow your trailer instead of a heavy 5th wheel hitch.

I included a video of the # CAB-C5G and a diagram of how to lockout your Sidewinder for you to take a look at.
