Helpful Expert Reply:
The Reese fifth wheel hitch part # RP30051 can work with a Sidewinder, but you should note that you can't use the slider function of the hitch with a Sidewinder. Good news is that since you have a Sidewinder you wouldn't need to ever slide the hitch back.
Sliding the hitch back with the Sidewinder installed would cause it to interfere with bedrails and tailgate.
I attached a help article on Sidewinders for you to check out as well.
