For their Companion series of 5th wheel hitches, B&W recommends using a 10 inch lube plate. I'd recommend the # 16721 from Curt. The lube plate would protect the skid on your hitch from getting scratched up, and would eliminate the need to use grease on the skid plate so you won't have a huge mess with grease everywhere.
