• Mounting Bolt Spacing of Lippert 1116 5th Wheel Pin Box
  By 'drawing', I'm assuming you're needing the bolt hole spacing, is that correct? Lippert won't provide a build sheet, because that's considered proprietary information, but I've provided a diagram showing the bolt hole spacing. The bolt hole spacing dimensions provided are measured center to center. I hope that'll be helpful for you.

• Replacement Pin Box Needed to Tow a 2018 Reflection 337RLS with a PullRite SuperLite
  I spoke with someone over at PullRite who said that they have heard from customers that a standard pin box that doesn't have any cushion actually tows better with the PullRite SuperLite 4P 20,000lb hitch that you are using. Since the hitch comes with an adapter for the king pin all that we need to know is the model number of your current pin box. This can actually be found on the pin box itself. There should be a sticker that has a series of numbers on it. It should reflect one of the...

• 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...

• Can Lippert 1716 Pin Box be Replaced by Lippert 1116 to Prevent King Pin from Hitting Bed Rails
  I spoke with my contact at Lippert regarding the existing Lippert 1716 Pin Box # LC1324791 on your trailer.

• What Would Cause Pin Box to Hit Side of Bed Rails
  We don't have a shorter version of the Rotaflex you have now which is similar to the part # LC328492 but if you are having issues with the pin box hitting the bed rails that makes me think you have the hitch head of your fifth wheel too low. Is your trailer sitting nose low? Could you raise the height of your fifth wheel and still allow the trailer to sit level. Another thing that can help is see if you can install the pin box higher on the brackets of your trailer frame. That will allow...

• How Many Bolt Holes Are Needed for a Lippert 1716 Pin Box
  I spoke to my contact at Lippert and they informed me that on the Lippert 1716 Pin Box that you have, all six bolt holes per side will need to be used which means you would not be able to lower the pin box down to raise the front of the trailer. In order to gain more bedside clearance you will want to raise the 5th wheel hitch up. If you are maxed out now then you might consider the Curt A16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch which is one of the tallest 5th wheel hitches we offer at 21-1/2" tall....

• Towing a Keystone Toy Hauler 5th Wheel Trailer with a Gooseneck Hitch
  I spoke with my contact at Lippert who said that your Lippert pin box 381769 is also known as their 1116 pin box # LC1270271. Although there are (discontinued) Reese Goose Boxes that will fit your 1116 pin box none of them are rated for 20K like you are asking about.

This essentially turns your pin box...

• Do Trail Air Pin Boxes have the Same Dimensions as the Pin Boxes they Replace
  Replacement pin boxes such as # LC155943 aren't exactly the same as the stock pin boxes they replace. But they are really close because they have to be. I am confident you won't run into any issues with the ride being off level. Like you said the pin box can be mounted higher or lower on the trailer's mounting wings.

• Will Convert-A-Ball 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Adapter Work with Cushioned Lippert 1116 Pin Box
  The Convert-A-Ball Cushioned 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Adapter part # CAB-C5GX1216 is indeed not compatible with cushioned pin boxes so if you wanted to use this, you would need to switch to a non-cushioned style like the Lippert 1116 5th Wheel Pin Box part # LC1270271. Please note, it isn't guaranteed you'll have enough clearance for full turns even with the offset so you might want to measure beforehand to be sure this setup will give you what you're looking for.
