Lippert 1716 5th Wheel Pin Box - 15,500 lbs
This Pin box bolted directly into the camper pin box mounting plate. Best of all the longer pin box added more than enough length to the system to allow the our 5th wheel to be connect to the truck with the tailgate in the lowered position. The only negative is that the description of the item stated that the pin box is powdered coated to prevent rusting. The item came with plastic wrap on it and the powder has multiple areas where the paint was chipped.
For those of you who, like me, may have purchased a truck with the under the bed rail system for your fifth wheel you know the positioning of the rail system is set in front of the rear axle instead of directly above the axle making the distance between the cab and trailer that much closer. This can cause a problem hooking up with your tail gate in the down position if you have a medium length pin box on your trailer. etrailer has a great chart online to help you determine what kind of pin box you have and if there is another one manufactured that will fit in the same place. This longer pin box for me was a great economical, safe solution. The Lippert 1716 long box is a direct replacement for the Lippert 1116 medium box, but is seven inches longer giving me the needed distance to hook up.

Lippert 1621 5th Wheel Pin Box - 15,500 lbs
Hitch king pin box was a perfect fit and installed easily. I just finished hauling the trailer with it on a 5000 mile trip and it worked flawlessly.
First time using etrailer so I wasn't sure what to expect. But they were fast, efficient and keep us updated throughout the shipment. This was a replacement part for a customer shipping their cargo on us to Nome and it had to get here on time, very pleased with the service and follow through. Thanks Tom
