    B&W companion slider - need compatibility education!

    Looking to buy this off of a friend for my Reflection 31mb to mount in my 2020 F350 srw short box. The only info about compatibility I can find is that this hitch does not work with a sidewinder and revolution king pins. I dont know if those are "styles" of king pins or brands. I have a lippert king pin on my 31mb, so can someone confirm if I'm compatible?
    Also, I dont see anywhere that I need a specific strike plate (or one at all)?

    Thanks!
    Mike

    Hi, Mike. My understanding is that the Sidewinder and Revolution are both "articulating" kingpins. If you have a standard fixed kingpin on your 31mb, it should work fine with the Companion slider.

    Thanks!

    Another question- do I use a lube plate or grease?

    I've only used a lube plate. I'm sure there's a thread on this forum discussing lube plates vs grease.
