Features to know about

Smoother Ride, Better Protection

Helux in use

The Helux coil spring system absorbs road shock, jerking, and the back-and-forth chucking that wears you out on long drives. It keeps things steady through starts, stops, and uneven roads so your ride feels calmer, your cargo stays safer, and your trailer takes less of a beating.

Durable and Maintenance-Free

Built from fully welded steel with a triple-layer powder coat, this pin box is made to handle years of towing and all kinds of weather. And with no airbags, bearings, or bushings to service, you won't have to think about upkeep.

Lippert Approved Upgrade

Unlike some aftermarket pin boxes, this one is approved for use on Lippert RV frames. That means you get a smoother ride without risking your trailer's warranty.

What is Pin Weight and Why Does it Matter?

Your trailer's pin weight is the amount of weight pressing down on your truck through the king pin. It's the key factor in choosing the right Curt Helux pin box since each model is tuned to a specific pin-weight range. If it's too light, the coil springs won't engage correctly, but if it's too heavy, you'll overstress the system. When this number is accurate, the pin box performs the way it was designed and gives you the smoothest ride possible.

How to Accurately Measure Pin Weight

The most reliable method is to use a set of certified vehicle scales (like CAT scales).


pin box measurements

  • Step 1: Weigh your truck and trailer together with the trailer hitched (truck front axle on Scale 1, truck rear axle on Scale 2, and trailer axles on Scale 3).
  • Step 2: Record the weights from Scales 1 and 2, then add them together. This is Weight A.
  • Step 3: Unhitch the trailer and weigh the truck alone (front axle on Scale 1 and rear axle on Scale 2).
  • Step 4: Record the weights from Scales 1 and 2, then add them together. This is Weight B.
  • Step 5: Subtract Weight A from Weight B. The difference is your actual pin weight.

This process accounts for how your trailer is actually loaded, which includes cargo and water tanks, so you know you're picking a pin box that matches the conditions you're using it with.

How to Estimate Pin Weight

If you don't have access to a scale, you can get a ballpark figure with your trailer's GVWR:


  • Step 1: Find the GVWR on the trailer's specification sticker.
  • Step 2: Multiply that number by 0.22.
  • Step 3: The result is your estimated pin weight.

This method gives you a starting point, but remember it's only an estimate. The actual pin weight can change depending on how you fill tanks and distribute weight in the trailer.

Easy to install. Works great. There is a noticeable reduction in chunking.

Glad the pin box was good. The box and pallet were damaged badly. Will be installing it tomorrow. I think it will enhance our ride while towing.



by:

This pin box is absolutely amazing. Way smoother pull way less chucking ! Highly recommended this over any stock pin box.

I’ve only had my toy hauler out one since installing the hitch but went over a set of RR tracks and 3 bridges and it definitely makes a difference. Greatly soften the blows to the truck so you know it’s taking a lot of stress off the fifth wheel. Watched it workings through the rear view mirror. Simple design that someone should have come up with long ago. Took a friend of mine and I exactly 1 hour to install withe the help of his motorcycle jack on the tailgate of the truck. It’s heavy and well built. They are a little pricey but I feel well worth it for the longevity of the frame. Most importantly know the weight of your trailer loaded to pick the right one

I received this curt helux pin box very quickly. I was impressed with how fast and how the shipment was handled. I've installed the pin box but haven't yet towed our 5th wheel yet. 1st camping trip later this month possibly. Maine weather needs to be a bit nicer. Anyway. So far very impressed with the product.

  • Fifth Wheel Hitch Recommendation to Use with Curt Helux Pin Box
    Hey Gary, I really like B and W fifth wheel hitches like the Patriot part # BWRVK3255 if you have a set of above bed rails or the Companion hitches are really nice too but they are designed to fit OEM puck kits or their Turnoverball rail kits. If I could get a little more info from you on your setup I could give you a more specific answer. What truck do you have? How long is the bed? What trailer will you be towing?

  • Can I Use a Convert-A-Ball Gooseneck Adapter on a Curt Helux Shock-Absorbing 5th Wheel Pin Box?
    Hey Crystal, that's going to be a no. Curt has said their Helux Shock-Absorbing 5th Wheel Pin Box like item # C83RJ is not compatible with gooseneck adapters like the Convert-A-Ball item # CAB-C5G. Their reason being it puts additional stress on the 5th wheel trailer's frame and using an adapter will void the frame warranty. I know this is probably inconvenient but if you're swapping over to a Gen-Y gooseneck adapter like item # GY33GR the best way is to do it at the location you pick...

  • Cushioned Pin Box Recommendation for 2022 Heartland Cyclone 4270
    Hey Lenard, since we know your 2022 Heartland Cyclone 4270 has a Lippert 1621 pin box we don't currently have a Curt Helux that would fit it but for a great cushioned pin box option we have the Curt Flex Air part # LC328492 which will do a really great job giving you a smoother ride quality as it offers both vertical and horizontal cushioning. This will work great with your B and W hitch as well.

  • What 5th Wheel Hitch do I Want for My 2020 GMC Sierra 3500HD SRW Pulling Alliance 5th Wheel?
    Hello Lori, Going with the Curt Helux Shock-Absorbing 5th Wheel Pin Box – 24K GTW – 6,200 lbs TW # C83RJ is a fantastic choice! I really like how they designed the spring system so you don’t have to worry about filling up an airbag. Great ride quality with less maintenance? Yes, please! Curt may have nailed the pin box design, but when it comes to fifth wheel hitches, I really like the B&W brand. When picking out the correct hitch, a couple of factors come into play, like bed size and...

  • Will the Curt Helux Pinbox Replace a Curt Rota Flex Pin Box?
    Possibly! Does the Curt Rota Flex pin box on your 2020 Vanleigh Beacon 39GBB say Rhino Box anywhere on it or have a 807712 part number? If so, yes! The only pin box bolt pattern as of (09/25) that the Curt Helux like item # C83RJ fits is the Lippert, now Curt Rhino Box. It's quite a bit narrower and only has 5 mounting bolts on either side like the picture below. If you would like to email me a picture of the sticker on your 5th wheel trailer's pin box I'll be happy to identify the bolt...

  • Looking For A Replacement Pin Box For My 2021 Alliance With A Lippert Rhino Pin Box
    Hey Greg, The pin box on your trailer is going to have the Lippert Rhino bolt pattern. The replacement I recommend for your model pin box is going to be the Curt Helux # C83RJ. The Curt Helux uses a coil spring system for its shock absorbing instead of the typical airbag or rubber spring like other models have. It is a maintenance free pin box so you won't have to worry about adjusting anything on it when towing. I would recommend that over any of the airbag option pin boxes due to its...

  • Will Curt Hilux Pin Box work with B and W Companion Hitch for Ford Pucks

  • Is The Curt Helux Compatible With Standard 5th Wheel Hitches?
    Yes! The Curt Helux # C83RJ works with standard jaw-style 5th wheel hitches. This includes the B&W 5th wheel hitches and any Curt series 5th wheel hitch. The Helux is not compatible with the Andersen Ultimate gooseneck adapter hitch. What kind of 5th wheel hitch are you using to tow?

  • Does The Curt Helux Shock-Absorbing 5th Wheel Pin Box C83RJ Require Maintenance?
    Hello Marc, thanks for reaching out. The Curt Helux Shock-Absorbing 5th Wheel Pin Box # C83RJ requires no maintenance after in initial installation. It uses a spring instead of an air bag. I do recommend that you inspect the pin box and touch up and scratches or chips that may occur with black paint. That would be the only thing needed to maintain the coating just in case.
