If you have a standard 16,000-lb Reese fifth wheel hitch on your F-350 then you can replace the head with part # 30118.

This includes the hitch head and head support and will fit in the legs of your fifth wheel hitch.

Just to make sure, if you give me the model number of the hitch you have I can verify the # 30118 will work for you.

The legs of several of the Reese fifth wheel hitches part number #RP30727 are all the same so you could sway the head and shoulder to make a 20k hitch with part number #30118 and you'd be set.
