Expert Reply:
If your B&W Companion hitch mounts into the 4 pucks in your truck bed, like with part # BWRVK3600, you can use custom wedge part # SWW-06. If your B&W Companion hitch uses a single post to mount in a gooseneck ball hole in your truck bed, as with hitch # BWRVK3500-5W, then you cannot use it with a Sidewinder pin box since that post would be damaged by the forces applied to it by the trailer.
