Smooth Out Your Ride with the Right Pin Box

Upgrade your 5th wheel experience with a pin box designed to absorb road shock and reduce chucking. Enjoy a smoother, more comfortable ride, whether you're cruising down the highway or navigating bumpy roads. This upgrade can transform your towing experience, making it feel like your trailer is floating behind you.

A pin box with an airbag or rubber bumper system absorbs road shock and reduces chucking by cushioning the connection between the truck and trailer. This setup acts like a shock absorber, smoothing out the ride and minimizing the jarring motion that can occur when starting, stopping, or driving over uneven surfaces.
Installing these pin boxes can be challenging due to their weight, often requiring additional help or equipment like a forklift. While the process is straightforward, aligning and securing the heavy unit can be difficult. Some recommend using grade eight hardware for added security during installation.
Regularly check the air pressure in the airbag to ensure optimal performance, typically around 65 psi. Inspect for any signs of wear or damage, and ensure all bolts are securely fastened. Adding a braided hose can make accessing the air valve easier, especially if it's hard to reach once installed.
This upgrade significantly enhances the towing experience by eliminating most chucking and smoothing out the ride. It feels like the trailer is floating, reducing stress on both the tow vehicle and the trailer. This makes long trips more comfortable and less tiring for the driver and passengers.
These pin boxes are generally compatible with various hitches, including sliding hitches like Demco. However, it's crucial to verify the bolt pattern and weight capacity to ensure a proper fit. Some users have successfully adapted their setups with minor adjustments, like drilling additional holes.
