Expert Reply:

We do offer Air Ride Goose Box pin boxes that will work with a gooseneck hitch in your truck.

The included air bag and dual shocks help provide cushion and reduce road shock, while improving the overall ride.

If you have a Lippert 1621, 0719, or 1621HD, or Fabex PB-600 series pin box on your trailer you can use part # RP85FR with a 20,000-lb capacity.

If you have a Lippert 1716, 0115, or 1116 pin box then the Air Ride Pin Box you can use is part # RP94716-61301. This has also has a 20,000 capacity.

We also offer Rota-Flex pin boxes that may work for your trailer. These systems use a rubber compound built into the head instead of air bags or shocks like the Air Ride. The rubber absorbs road shock and reduces chucking.

For a Lippert 1621 or 1621HD replacement you can use part # LC328330 for the 18,000-lb capacity.

For a 19,000-lb capacity and to replace the Lippert 1116 pin box you can use part # LC176440. For a Lippert 1621 and a 21,000-lb capacity you can use part # LC328329.

For my money I recommend the Air Ride system. The air bag and shocks will cushion a bit more than a hard rubber compound on the head of the pin box.
