Upgrade the factory pin box on your fifth-wheel trailer to this cushioned model that dampens road shock and reduces back-and-forth chucking for a more relaxed towing experience. Unlike air bags, the internal rubber spring requires no maintenance.

Specs:
Most standard pin boxes are constructed of steel and are built with the sole purpose of connecting your fifth-wheel trailer to your tow vehicle. There is no cushioning built in, so a factory pin box doesn't do anything to provide a comfortable ride when you're hauling your fifth-wheel trailer.
This MORryde pin box, however, is built with an internal rubber spring that absorbs road shock and vibration at the connection point. So if you're driving on unpaved roads or uneven pavement, this pin box will prevent any road shock and vibration you encounter from transferring from your tow vehicle to your fifth-wheel trailer and vice versa. In other words, the rubber spring takes the brunt of the impact so you and your towing setup don't have to. And because this unit uses a rubber spring instead of an internal air bag like some other upgraded pin boxes, there's no maintenance required.
Although this pin box can tow up to 18,000 lbs, the internal rubber shear spring is optimized for trailers that range from 11,501 to 14,000 lbs. A rubber spring built for 18,000-lb trailers would be too stiff to provide any cushion for an 11,500-lb trailer, while a rubber spring built for 11,500-lb trailers would be too flexible for a 18,000-lb trailer. To get the best results from this cushioned pin box, the sweet spot is a trailer in the 11,501-lb to 14,000-lb range.
Chucking, the back-and-forth jerking movement you feel in your cab when towing, occurs most frequently during starts and stops and while making turns. A typical, factory pin box creates a rigid connection without much give. So when a harsh stop occurs, all of the trailer's forward momentum gets forced through that stiff connection, slamming the king pin in the hitch and jerking your truck around.
To combat this, glide pads are built into the MORryde pin box that allow the skid plate to shift up to 3" forward and backward and 1-1/2" side to side to compensate for some of that violent motion so that you don't have to feel it in your cab.
This MORryde pin box is a direct replacement for your existing Lippert 1621HD pin box, so the installation is very straightforward. After removing your old Lippert pin box, the MORryde can be mounted into place using the same hardware and bolt holes used by the factory pin box.
Because of the weight of the unit, you'll want a couple of friends to help you lift it into place during installation. Once the hardware is securely bolted down, you'll be ready to go.

Review from a similar Cushioned 5th Wheel Pin in Fifth Wheel King Pin
The king pin box was delivered in perfect shape. Metal banded, strapped to a wood pallet in a card board box. Upon installation it fit perfect.
The customer support was excellent throughout the whole process from the ordering, making sure the correct king pin box was selected, to follow up, due to the long wait. The long wait was due to Covid 19. I am a happy camper and cannot wait to try it out on the road soon. I will send a follow up review. Thanks etrailer and especially Christina J. she answered all my questions and followed up on time every time.

Review from a similar Cushioned 5th Wheel Pin in Fifth Wheel King Pin
Just what I needed for my fifth wheel, haven’t pulled it yet. My friends all have them and say it takes the jerk out. Wife has neck problems, so I’m sure it will help.Shipping was quick and packaging was excellent.
Review from a similar Cushioned 5th Wheel Pin in Fifth Wheel King Pin
The price is great and it arrived without any damage. I haven’t installed it yet but hope to soon. Shipping was far too slow, even given Covid. If it was in stock I think it should have shipped within a week, not three weeks after ordering.
