Your picture didn't come through so I can't tell you if you need shim plates but I can confirm that both the Gen-Y Hitch Shock Absorbing 5th Wheel to Gooseneck Pin Box item # GY58FR and the Reese Goose Box 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Air Ride Coupler Adapter item # RP89FR fit the 1621 pinbox. So if your Keystone Fuzion 379 has a 1621 pinbox either of them will work.

The Gen-Y item # GY58FR weighs 162 lbs.

The Reese Goose Box item # RP85FR weighs 170 lbs.

I recommend going with the Reese over the Gen-Y if your Keystone still has a chassis warranty. The Reese goose box is the only one that doesn't void that warranty.

Neither of these goose boxes come with safety chains so don't forget the Safety Chain Kit # GY49GR.
