Arrives before Christmas 
Experience smooth, stable towing with your fifth-wheel trailer by replacing your ordinary pin box with an air-ride-equipped model. The scissoring action of the coupler allows the interior air bag to absorb road shock so that you won't feel it.

Notes:
Eliminate the bounce from your ride with the Trailair air ride coupler. The unique scissoring action of the pin box ensures that road shock is absorbed, preventing the harsh, rigid ride that you typically encounter while towing your fifth-wheel trailer. Not only does this improve your overall towing experience, but it also helps maintain a sound, well-functioning system. Less bounce and jarring means less stress on your truck, trailer and hitch.
When you encounter uneven terrain on your trip or hit a pothole on the highway, the Trailair pin box compresses, transferring the road shock to its internal air bag. A built-in air spring ensures that this compression occurs in a controlled fashion so that the air bag doesn't burst. It also causes the pin box to appropriately rebound, positioning it so that it's ready for the next bump in the road.

I installed it before a 700 mile trip and it does what it is intended to do. Etrailer was very helpful in selecting the correct pin box for my trailer.
Thank you.
I just got the pin box, so I don't have it installed yet. It seems very well built. I wish it had a removable eye in the top so I could lift it with the crane that I have in the bed of my truck. No complaints though. Can't wait to try it out.
Good packaging and received quickly.
the fit was perfert. as you can see from the pictures is attached, i drilled a hole in the top to drain water that collects. i fabercated a cover to fit over the opening.
We're so anxious to try out our new Curt TrailAir.
Installation went smoothly, it looks great.
We can hardly wait to experience the ride!
Best upgrade to the 5th wheel you can do. Our first cross country trip and I-40 beat the snot out of us on all the bridge transitions with the stock pin box. Immediately ordered this unit and now it’s like the trailer is floating behind us. I run 65 psi in the airbag. Solid unit and easy installation.
Swapped out the MorRyde cushioned pin box. This Air Ride is awesome
I purchased this Lippert Air Ride hitch for my 40 foot Genesis Supreme trailer and wish I had bought it 2 years ago and installed it. What a difference is has made both in the trailer when towing as well as the difference in my truck while pulling it down the road. eTrailer had the best price and fast shipping. They as well helped me with verifying the right part number that works with my trailer. I purchase many parts and accessories from eTrailer and will continue to purchase from them in the future.
Freight co delivery estimated for Friday, arrived today. (Tuesday). Borrowed a tractor, dropped the old and lifted this monster into place. 12- 15/16 bolts (originally) 18 hole mount. Not sure if the height is correct for the bed, but will adjust it down if after the rubber bumper is inflated, if it doesn’t sit level. The bolt pattern was correct. better get help! From dropping the MFG lippert, to getting the thing lifted an bolts snugged up, about 45min. Will take a bit longer to attach the deadman switch and electrical box. Well crafted, definitely heavy. This should save my truck n RV from porpoising damage as I’m going over Bridges and bad roads.
Fit my 2018 Velano 39ft 5th wheel like a glove. Less than 1/2 hour by myself, with forks on my compact tractor for lifting, and it was installed. Ride is so much better than prior roto flex box
Havent used it yet, but M19 pin box is well made. As usual, etrailer shipped it quick and it arrived with zero defects. Ill update after first use
Delivery was sooner than expected. We only drove the 5th wheel from the repair shop to home.
I’ll update after our west coast tour.
Our fifth wheel experienced pin box cross frame cracking while on a trip. After having it properly repaired I decided to invest in the Trail-air pin box to alleviate the shock and harsh pounding from our lousy roads. I purchased from etrailer.com and installed it myself. Being only a 29 foot 5th wheel the tounge weight is low so after experimenting with pressures I run 40 psi in it and it flexes when hitting bumps or dips taking the stress off the trailer. Tows like a dream. Knowing what I know now I would have bought and installed it when I bought the 5th wheel and saved a repair during a trip. It is expensive but well worth it.
This is my second Trailair pinbox. They are a step above another. My first time dealing with etrailer and I think they are also a step above.
I am well pleased with the ride improvement this king pin provides. It greatly reduces the chucking and makes for a much more enjoyable journey.
Great product takes the hard up and down jerking of a rough road. Things in the the trailer are tossed around.
I just completed a 2800 mile trip after installing the Trail Air Air Ride pin box on my Solitude 5th wheel. I was able to install it myself from the bed of my pickup using a hydraulic bottle jack to lift it into position.
I previously made the same trip with the factory installed MORryde Cushioned Pin Box and the Trail Air provides a greatly improved ride. With the MORryde, I encountered several sections of concrete highway that set up a front-to-back oscillation which persisted across many miles. I didn't have that issue with the Trail Air.
I didn't order the Flex Air model that also included the flexible block because I was concerned the added height of that pin box would have been a problem. However, after installing the non-flex Trail Air I've found that the other one would have also worked out if I lowered my truck hitch an inch or two.
Also worth noting, this pin box is four inches shorter than the 1621 MORryde it replaced. However with a long bed truck I have no clearance issues and can still lower the tailgate when hitched up.
I’ll start from the second I ordered this online. Confirmation email, then within days a shipping confirmation. When I ordered my shipping said 2 weeks out for delivery. I got the item in 9 days. The communication from the freight service was top notch. Unlike, some reviews the item was in great condition when it arrived. On a pallet in a box. No complaints. The driver even let me back up to his lift gate and help me slide the item into my truck for easier install. I had previously removed the factory hitch box prior to arrival so when the upgraded item arrived I was ready for install. Took about an hour to line everything up. Used a jack in the truck bed to help lift item where I needed it. I haven’t towed with it yet, that’ll be next week. But it looks beastly and like it’ll be a much more comfortable ride for me and my truck. Very happy so far, will leave an updated review after an out of state trip next weekend. etrailer was great. First item Ive ordered from you all but I’ll be back. Thank you!! Happy customer!!
Good looking product. Mounted it on a Montana 40ft 5th wheel. It arrived 2 weeks ahead of schedule. It was easy to install. I did have to grind the corners of the trailer frame bracket as the jaw hinge wouldn’t allow the bolt holes to line up. Once the corners were ground, everything lined up perfectly. It only took my son and I to pick up the pin box and once the first bolt was in, it was simple and easy to do the rest. There are 3 things to complain about. 1. The position of the air valve sucks. Really hard to get at. 2. The mark on the shock for proper inflation is not marked well. Had to get on hands and knees with a flashlight to actually see it. It was suppose to be bright yellow, it’s black, same as the shock. My 3rd complaint would be the fact that I had to drill 3 holes into the pin box to reattach the brake safety cable and the electrical wire box. The biggest positive thing is, is how much of a difference it has made in the ride quality for not only with the trailer but the truck as well. Soooo much smoother than the original pin box. Would I buy another one? You better believe I would. Wondering why I didn’t buy it sooner. Won’t have another 5th wheel without it.
Have put around 10K miles on the hitch so far and it has performed well. An extra step in the pre-departure checklist to check the airbag pressure/ride height, but it is worth it as it greatly reduces the jarring from pot holes and abrupt changes in road surface. Installation was easy; perfect fit.
Smooths out the ride greatly, really pleased with so far. I removed the Air chuck and installed a tee with Gauge and air chuck makes it easy to monitor air pressure before traveling, one should note that these do bleed pressure down in few weeks that is pretty much normal for air bags of this type. I have a Dewalt cordless mini compressor and it works great to quickly & quietly pressurize before trip. I usually set my at 65 PSI
Have not did a road test yet but it’s installed.
Way heavier than factory. I have talked to many that have this and like it.
Helps reduce chucking back and forth movement. Nothing will be solve all if you are on a rough road you will feel it.
No hitch will eliminate.
Was fairly easy to install you will need help to lift. I used the tailgate on the truck and backed under and used blocking to get in place. I installed pretty much myself. My wife help some with aligning the bolts.
Smooths out the porpoising when traveling over rough roads and at uneven bridge abuttments.
Exact fit replacement for cheap Keystone OEM part. Fit was so exact, I installed it by myself. Arrived earlier than expected. I hope this will reduce the chucking and smooth out the pull of a 16K RV trailer. I did have to purchase additional bolt sets from my local Home Depot (OEM was 12 sets, this is 18 sets 5/8-11 x 2in Grade 8 with flat and lock washers all torqued to 180 ft lbs).
The king pin has eliminated about 80% of the chucking. I pull 16k fiver. I am very happy with it. Related I always use etrailer for my parts purchase. One time I was stranded near Disneyland. I needed shackle. They had me triple check for correct part and rushed delivery. These guys are the real deal.
