Can a 15k Pro Series Slider Hitch Be Upgraded to a 20k Slider by Replacing the Head

Question:

I currently have a pro series 15k 5th wheel hitch but am want to upgrade to a 20k, What would my options be? I have a slider in the truck also. Looking for something that I do not have to replace rails. Is there any heads that can go on the pro series framelegs? I have read some of the QandA on your site and like the professional answers that is given. Answers that I would trust. Look forward to hearing from you, I pull a 40ft keystone, not a low profile camper, but way to much banging with my 15k hitch head.

Yes, you can just purchase the Pro Series 20K Fifth Wheel Head Assembly, Head Support and Handle Kit, item # 30118, to go on the slider assembly, item # RP30048, that your 15k head assembly is attached to now.

The same Slider assembly is used on the Pro Series 15k, 16k and 20k head units.

If you want a smoother slider then you can use the Reese Round Tube Slider # RP50024.
