Helpful Expert Reply:
When using a Sidewinder pin box, you unfortunately can't use a Curt A-Series anymore due to a new design. Instead, you can use a fixed hitch like the Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch - Slide Bar Jaw - 16,000 lbs # C16115. You'll want to use Wedge # RP64FR with this Hitch and a sidewinder. This custom wedge will be the best fitment when it comes to the Curt E-Series hitches.
