Hello Todd, thanks for reaching out. The Replacement Head and Shank # RP54980 is for the Reese trunnion bar systems like the Reese Strait-Line. The best way to know if it will fit your system will be for your to provide the model number from your WD hitch or even the part number for just the spring bars.
There is no way to add pictures on here but you can email them to me. My email is [email protected]. Send those over and I am happy to take a look and see if I can identify what you have.
