Do you have a long bed or short bed? The reason I ask has to do with the type of hitch that would be used. More specifically, if you are using a short bed, you will likely want to use a sliding hitch that changes the clearance of you trailer as it turns, avoiding the cab of your truck. If this is the case, then you would not use a lube plate, as the hitch has a special fixed adapter that actually moves with the hitch. If you have a long bed, then the more standard hitch would use the lube plate and your choice will be based on the hitch surface. A 10” is big enough for the 311. However, after many years of using a conventional 5th wheel hitch, I now use a all aluminum Anderson hitch system. This hitch system does not require lubercation, as it is based on a complete aluminum system without ware or gouging issues. I hope this helps you with your hitch lube plate options.
