Features to know about

Smoother Ride, Better Protection

Helux in use

The Helux coil spring system absorbs road shock, jerking, and the back-and-forth chucking that wears you out on long drives. It keeps things steady through starts, stops, and uneven roads so your ride feels calmer, your cargo stays safer, and your trailer takes less of a beating.

Durable and Maintenance-Free

Built from fully welded steel with a triple-layer powder coat, this pin box is made to handle years of towing and all kinds of weather. And with no airbags, bearings, or bushings to service, you won't have to think about upkeep.

Lippert Approved Upgrade

Unlike some aftermarket pin boxes, this one is approved for use on Lippert RV frames. That means you get a smoother ride without risking your trailer's warranty.

What is Pin Weight and Why Does it Matter?

Your trailer's pin weight is the amount of weight pressing down on your truck through the king pin. It's the key factor in choosing the right Curt Helux pin box since each model is tuned to a specific pin-weight range. If it's too light, the coil springs won't engage correctly, but if it's too heavy, you'll overstress the system. When this number is accurate, the pin box performs the way it was designed and gives you the smoothest ride possible.

How to Accurately Measure Pin Weight

The most reliable method is to use a set of certified vehicle scales (like CAT scales).


pin box measurements

  • Step 1: Weigh your truck and trailer together with the trailer hitched (truck front axle on Scale 1, truck rear axle on Scale 2, and trailer axles on Scale 3).
  • Step 2: Record the weights from Scales 1 and 2, then add them together. This is Weight A.
  • Step 3: Unhitch the trailer and weigh the truck alone (front axle on Scale 1 and rear axle on Scale 2).
  • Step 4: Record the weights from Scales 1 and 2, then add them together. This is Weight B.
  • Step 5: Subtract Weight A from Weight B. The difference is your actual pin weight.

This process accounts for how your trailer is actually loaded, which includes cargo and water tanks, so you know you're picking a pin box that matches the conditions you're using it with.

How to Estimate Pin Weight

If you don't have access to a scale, you can get a ballpark figure with your trailer's GVWR:


  • Step 1: Find the GVWR on the trailer's specification sticker.
  • Step 2: Multiply that number by 0.22.
  • Step 3: The result is your estimated pin weight.

This method gives you a starting point, but remember it's only an estimate. The actual pin weight can change depending on how you fill tanks and distribute weight in the trailer.

Easy to install. Works great. There is a noticeable reduction in chunking.

Glad the pin box was good. The box and pallet were damaged badly. Will be installing it tomorrow. I think it will enhance our ride while towing.

I received this curt helux pin box very quickly. I was impressed with how fast and how the shipment was handled. I've installed the pin box but haven't yet towed our 5th wheel yet. 1st camping trip later this month possibly. Maine weather needs to be a bit nicer. Anyway. So far very impressed with the product.



by:

This pin box is absolutely amazing. Way smoother pull way less chucking ! Highly recommended this over any stock pin box.



by:

I’ve only had my toy hauler out one since installing the hitch but went over a set of RR tracks and 3 bridges and it definitely makes a difference. Greatly soften the blows to the truck so you know it’s taking a lot of stress off the fifth wheel. Watched it workings through the rear view mirror. Simple design that someone should have come up with long ago. Took a friend of mine and I exactly 1 hour to install withe the help of his motorcycle jack on the tailgate of the truck. It’s heavy and well built. They are a little pricey but I feel well worth it for the longevity of the frame. Most importantly know the weight of your trailer loaded to pick the right one



by:

Purchased over one month ago, I waited until I had towed our 40’ fifth wheel before rating and reviewing the Curt Helux, which replaced the OEM Curt Rota Flex. What a difference! We towed nearly 500 miles and it was the smoothest tow we have had in three years. Very little chucking was encountered even though the interstate had the usual rough bridges and construction. Installation was relatively easy-just follow the instructions-since it was a Curt product being replaced. ETrailer’s service was excellent as well.,

  • Can You Get an Adapter to Use the Curt Helux with a Different Pin Box Number Other than the Rhino?
    Hello Don, It comes with great sadness to tell you that there is not adapters that will work for you to use the Curt Helux # C73RJ with a different pin box number. At this time they are only making it for the Rhino. Let's not give up hope though, there should be a sticker on your current pinbox (I attached a picture so you know what to look for), can you please send me the information or shoot me over a picture so I can reach out to Lippert to get your pinbox number? I appreciate your...

  • Will The Curt Helux Pin Box Fit On A Grand Design Solitude 376RD 5th Wheel
    Hey Dave, The Curt Helux is still in production and not yet available so I can't 100% confirm it will have a compatible mounting pattern, but it's highly likely that it will. In order to determine what your pattern is you'll need to look for a white sticker that lists the RPO #, serial #, and LCI item #. This sticker is typically on the driver's side of the pin box and with these numbers we can look up the bolt pattern. MORyde will also some times have a code on the front of their pin...

  • Does the Curt Helux Pin Box Work w/ a Anderson Ultimate 5th Wheel Hitch?
    No, I am sorry it does not. I just spoke with Lippert and none of the Curt Helux Shock-Absorbing 5th Wheel Pin Box like item # C73RJ are compatible with gooseneck adapters like the Anderson Ultimate 5th Wheel Hitch. You would need to use a standard 5th wheel hitch like the Curt Q20 item # C16130. If you would like to upgrade your 5th wheel hitch, I would need to know whether or not you have the puck system, your truck's bed length, and the total weight of your 5th wheel trailer. Feel free...

    Hello Derick, thanks for reaching out. The only way to know if the Curt Helux Shock-Absorbing 5th Wheel Pin Box # C73RJ will work for you is to determine what pin box you have currently.

  • How Does The Curt Helux Compare To Pinboxes With Airbags In Them?
    Hey Karson, The Curt Helux ,# C73RJ, is going to be a pin box that uses a coil-spring with a shock absorbing technology to provide its smooth and more comfortable ride. In comparison the Curt is going to allow for a smoother ride with less maintenance. The coil spring is maintenance free great for longevity. Pin boxes with airbags like # LC328492, sometimes require adjustments to the airbag pressure. Do you know what model pin box you have on your trailer currently?

  • Can The Curt Helux Be Used With Gooseneck Adapters or Rotating Turrets?
    Hey Kenzie, The Curt Helux is not compatible with any gooseneck adapters or rotating turrets. Lippert, the manufacturer, advises against gooseneck adapters due to possibly damaging the pin box or trailer suspension. Along with that the Helux is only designed to replace standard 5th wheel pin boxes at this time. It is not designed to handle and accommodate the difference in design and pivot points of the sidewinders/turning points. What model pin box do you currently have?
