Hello Shane, thanks for reaching out. It sounds like you are asking about the Reese Spacer Plates like part # RP97FR. These may or may not be needed depending on the pin box size you are replacing. Do you happen to know the old pin box number? The spacer plates are most commonly needed when replacing the 0115, 1116, and 1716 pin box models.
Let me know what you have and I can tell you if the spacers are needed or not.
