Your Demco Hijacker fwh 24pa is the older style of fifth wheel hitch from Demco that uses an older unique rail design. The rails needed for it are the part # DM6014 and then for the universal L-bracket kit you'd need the part # DM8552009 and you'd be set for your 2011 GMC Sierra 2500.

Hey David, from previous customers of ours who have the same 2020 Keystone Raptor 424 we have determined that your pin box style is the Lippert 1621 which means for a Gen-Y gooseneck adapter you'd want the #GY58GR that you referenced.

A wedge is needed, yes, and the Lippert Turning Point pin box does come with a universal wedge, but it is not a very good fit with the B&W Companion #BWRVK3710. So I highly recommend instead using the 5th Airborne Custom Wedge for B&W Fifth…
