He was telling me that the sidewinder puts so much side to side pressure on the hitch that it would weaken it over time and could be a cause of concern and possible safety issues over time. I was kind of bummed about it. He did offer to install a reese or curt hitch instead of the B&W though if I wanted to proceed with the sidewinder and at that point I decided to stay away from that pin box.
FYI - if you decide on the Reese Sidewinder as a pin box upgrade then do not get the B&W hitch. B&W states specifically you can't use the sidewinder or any other pin box that relies on a wedge and transfers the pivot point backward with their line of hitches.
