I assume they went from 1 1/8" jaws to 1" because the slip plate became popular. The jaws being so thick made a very tight fit with a slip plate.
Even with the 1" jaws and a 1/4" slip plate there is not a lot of slop so it makes it harder to see when the hitch and king pin plate separate when un hitching.
I bought a 1/8" thick slip from Hensley and now it is much easier to see the separation when un hitching.
