Since you have the newer Reese Sidewinder 5th Wheel King Pin # RP34FR, you will need the Wedge Kit # RP64FR. This will include the 3/4"-10 bolts that you have on your Sidewinder and fits E-Series Curt 5th wheel hitches.

You will have to go with a sliding hitch to allow the trailer to make tight turns. For a trailer 8 feet wide the only bed length that's going to allow 90 degree turns without a slider is a stationary hitch. That being said you have two options.…
