The answer here really depends on what type of Companion hitch you have. If you have a Companion that's designed for factory puck systems like the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch for Ram Towing Prep Package # BWRVK3600 which is designed for 2013 and newer Ram trucks with factory installed puck system it is compatible with both universal and custom wedges like the 5th Airborne Custom Wedge for B&W Fifth Wheels # SWW-06 wedge. There are different model Companions for different makes so if you provide your vehicle information, I can confirm fit for your specific situation.

The Companion hitch utilizing the gooseneck however is not compatible with Sidewinder or Revolution king pins. The Companion hitches that only use the center post that inserts into a Turnover ball hitch like # BWRVK3500 can't handle the twisting torque that the Sidewinders put on the hitch so they require locking the Sidewinder out so that it functions like a standard pin box.
