Question:
I bought a wedge for my Reese sidewinder and it came with 5/8 bolts and it looks like the one I have on my sidewinder has 3/8 bolts is there two different ones

Hey Jared,
There are different models of the Reese Sidewinder, which require different wedge kits because of the groove built into them. The Sidewinder Wedge Kit for B&W, Demco, and Husky Fifth Wheel Trailer Hitches # RP74FR you were looking at is only compatible with the Reese Sidewinder # RP34FR (69220). To my knowledge there aren't any wedge kits with 3/8" bolts. Is there sticker on your Sidewinder that lists any serial numbers so we can identify it?
