If you have all the right tools, and an assistant, this is a simple 1 hour job. I pulled my truck back, supported the pinbox using an 8x8" block and easily pushed it into place using the block as a pivot point. I dont know what the sweet spot for PSI will be but towing (came preloaded at 20 PSI) but seems smoother and I gained about 3-5" space beteen my truck and trailer after installation. If you get the safety chain package, the shaft on the pinbox bolts will be too short...I grabbed Class 5 bolts at a local Tractor Supply. A noticable umprovement occured when I loaded my duelly, the bed didnt sink like it used with the 5th wheel and the trailer seemed to find its natural level quickly.

  • What Are the Frame Tabs Called That a 5th Wheel Pin Box Mount to?
    Hey David, great questions! I'll answer them in the same order you asked them: 1 - There isn't an official name for those brackets that I know of. They are part of the trailer frame so I guess technically they are pin box frame brackets, but another common term for them is "wing brackets" since they look like wings without the pin box installed. 2 - There are different mounting hole patterns like you referenced and, consequently, there are different pin box sizes and weight ratings.

  • Fifth Wheel to Gooseneck Adapter that Fits Fabex 520 Pin Box
    Hey William, for a Fabex 520 pin box the correct fifth wheel to gooseneck adapter would be the Shocker Hitch part # SHK55MR. This is a really nice cushioned adapter that will work great and also give you a nice and smooth ride quality.

  • Which Shocker Hitch 5th Wheel to Gooseneck Adapter Fits 2017 Keystone Sprinter 293FWBH
    Hey Ted, since your 2017 Keystone Sprinter 293FWBH has a Lippert 1116 pin box on it currently the correct Shocker Fifth Wheel to Gooseneck Adapter is the part # SHK55MR which comes with the needed spacers for the slightly wider pin box setup your trailer has. Is your current ride quality pretty rough?

  • Is Shocker Hitch 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Pin Box Safe to Use With Recessed Gooseneck Ball
    Hey Angie! The Shocker Hitch Quick Air Cushioned 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Pin Box # SHK47YR is safe to use with your recessed ball. However, you need to make sure the top of the ball is no more than 2" from the top of the flat bed. You also need to make sure the recessed area is at least 12" x 12". I attached a picture below so you can see what I'm talking about. Is your current pin box a Lippert Turning Point? If it isn't, or you aren't sure, you will need to identify the pin box to make...

  • Will The Lippert Gooseneck Connect Fit A 2009 Keystone Raptor Toy Hauler
    Hi Aaron, The Lippert Gooseneck Connect is designed to fit the Rhino bolt pattern so it wouldn't be a fit for your Raptor unfortunately. We do have a two other options to choose from though. The first option being the Shocker 5th Wheel to Gooseneck Pinbox # SHK55MR, which utilizes an air spring and bumpers to absorb road shock. The second option would be a Gen-Y gooseneck pin box, which uses the same torsion technology as an axle to help absorb road shock. With this you would really...

  • How to Determine if Shocker 5th Wheel to Gooseneck Pin Box Fits Recessed Flatbed Gooseneck
    It depends on the dimensions of the recessed gooseneck, but it is possible you can use the Shocker 5th Wheel to Gooseneck Pinbox for Lippert 1716/1116/0115 and Fabex # SHK55MR. If you take a look at the diagram from Shocker you can see the necessary dimensions the gooseneck pocket needs to be. The width and length should be at least 12 inches x 12 inches, and the top of the hitch ball can be no more than 2 inches from the top of the pocket. As for height the # SHK55MR is not height-adjustable,...

  • Is the Shocker 5th Wheel to Gooseneck Pinbox Covered Under Lippert's 1 Year Frame Warranty?
    Yes, it will. Lippert does not extend their 1 year frame warranty to cover the Shocker 5th Wheel to Gooseneck Pinbox for Lippert 1621/0719 and Rhino Box item # SHK23MR or for the adapter for Lippert 1716/1116/0115 and Fabex item # SHK55MR. You will also need the Safety Chain Kit for Shocker Hitch 5th Wheel to Gooseneck QuickAir Hitch item # SHK35MR. These chains are legally required when towing with a gooseneck connection and they are not included with the pinboxes. Please feel free to...

  • Is Shocker Gooseneck Cushioned Hitch Allow for Height Adjustability with Air Pressure
    Hey Jon, so the Shocker hitch part # SHK55MR is going to move more front to back than up and down with pressure changes so it won't be your most ideal solution. Instead I would recommend going with the Correct Track lift kit part # RR23QX which will give your trailer suspension a lift of 2-1/4 inches and will help alot with the ground clearance.

  • Gooseneck Coupler Adapter Recommendation that Fits in Place of Fabex 520
    For a gooseneck coupler solution that can replace the Fabex 520 pin box of your fifth wheel we have the Shocker Adapter part # SHK55MR which would wok great. This is also a cushioned adapter solution so your ride quality will improve as well.

  • Recommended Shocker Hitch Pin Box Replacement for a Keystone 5th Wheel
    Hey Mel, yeah the Shocker Hitch # SHK47YR would be an excellent upgrade to your current pin box but the only catch is - it's only going to work with Lippert or Curt Turning Point 5th-wheel pin boxes. If you had a Lippert 1716, 1116, and 0115, FabEx 500, 503, 520, 530, and 560 pin box then you could use # SHK55MR, or if you had the Lippert 1621, 0719, and Rhino then you could use # SHK23MR. So if you had any of those pin boxes, then this one would affectively bolt up and replace your current...
