Best Fifth Wheel Pin Box Replacement Recommendation for a Lippert 1621 Pin Box

Updated 03/16/2015 | Published 03/13/2015

Question:

This may sound like a broken record as to the questions ask about this item but I am going to replace the original Lippert 1621 15.5K with a cushioned pin box on our 30foot 2012 Keystone X-Lite and the tow vehicle is a 2014 1500 Silverado. There are three choices I am considering FlexAir, MorRyde and 5th Airborne. Everyone seems to have there opinions, the blogs are full of them. We experience the typical chucking and vertical bounce on ruff highways as most do, so I am asking your opinion on the recommended choice. The fifth airborne appears to be in the middle for pricing and I like the cleaner appearance of the unit. What is the king pin to first row of bolt measurement. Thanks in advance for helping. It sounds as if you folks run a great operation!

If you are looking for the best fifth wheel pin box to replace your Lippert 1621 that will provide the smoothest ride quality and won't break the bank I would recommend the new Trail Air Flex Air part # LC328492. This pin box works to fight and prevent vertical and horizontal chucking to provide you with a very smooth ride quality. I attached a demo video for more info.
