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?
