Hi Cody; the #LC328484 is a Trailair Flex Air with a Lippert 0719 bolt pattern. Assuming that is what you have, the correct Sidewinder is the Reese Sidewinder 5th Wheel King Pin with Rotating Turret #RP34FR. What 2022 Ram model do you have? Do you…
You will have to go with a sliding hitch to allow the trailer to make tight turns. For a trailer 8 feet wide the only bed length that's going to allow 90 degree turns without a slider is a stationary hitch. That being said you have two options.…
Hi Michael; I'm sure there is a Gen-Y Hitch Shock Absorbing 5th Wheel Pin Box that will fit your 2017 Grand Design Momentum. However, we need to identify your pin box to find the right one. Can you send me a picture of the sticker on your pin…

...Hey Jim,
When it comes to chucking I'd have to say that the Gen-Y Hitch Shock Absorbing 5th Wheel Pin Box # 325-GH-8040 is going to be the better option over the Lippert/Curt Flex Air Pin Box # LC...
The difference between the 1621 and the 1621SHD is weight capacity and how many bolts is required to mount it. The 1621 uses 4 bolts for mounting. The 1621SHD requires all 6 bolts to be used.
There should be a sticker or plate on the pin box itself that lists the manufacturer and model of the pin box. If it is not present then there are some measurements you can take to determine the model of the pin box. I have included a link that…
Alan - yes, the MORryde GooseTech #MR97MV is designed precisely for trailers using the Lippert 1621 pin box in the 14-18,000 lb GTW range. Good call verifying ahead of time. For installation you’ll want to check that the existing pin-box…
Thank you so much for the pictures! That is exactly what I need. Your 2023 Solitude 2930RL has what's called a Lippert Rhino pin box. The Rhino Box, like the Lippert 1621 you mentioned, is a specific bolt pattern and to replace it with a MORryde…
Choosing the right height setting for your 5th wheel hitch is a combination of a few different variables. First of all you want your towing setup to be as level as possible. With your Montana High Country 340BH level you will want to measure from the…

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.
