It is possible to use a king pin tri-pod stabilizer with a Revolution or Sidewinder, but you would have to install the lockout bolts at the turret to prevent movement or rotation. If the Sidewinder is not locked out, any type of movement in the trailer or from a strong wind would allow the pin box to rotate slightly, which could reduce the effectiveness of the stabilizer, or if severe enough cause damage.
If you intend to lockout the pin box, then you will want to choose a tripod jack that can support the pin weight of your trailer and one that is tall enough to reach your king pin. The pin weight of a fifth wheel trailer is typically 20 to 25 percent of the gross trailer weight. This would put your pin weight in the range of 1,750 lbs to 2,225 lbs, but I recommend verifying your actual weight first. Next, you will want to measure the distance from the ground to your king pin.
Two tripod stabilizer I would look at are the Ultra-Fab Economy Tripod Stabilizer, # UF19-950500, or the Ultra-Fab Tripod Stabilizer, # UF19-950001.
