Sidewinder Options to Replace a Lippert 1621 Pin Box

Question

Question:

Im considering replacing my Lippert 1621 pin box with a side winder turret and pin box. I see so many part numbers offered what would be the correct numbers? Can you provide a list of Sidewinder numbers and fitments? Thanks

There are two options for Sidewinders to replace a Lippert 1621 pin box. For a 16k rated Sidewinder we have the part # RP61422. If you need more capacity than that you would want the 19k version which is part # RP34FR.

The first option listed above is an air-ride, cushioned Sidewinder that will offer a much smoother ride with its fully enclosed, custom-tuned air spring in air ride trailer coupler that cushions and absorbs shock.

To replace the 1621HD pin box on your trailer, the Reese Sidewinder # RP34FR will work perfectly. It has the capacity needed for this trailer size and will do a great job of providing all the turning clearance you need.

Since your 2017 Dodge Ram 1500 has a box that is shorter than 6 feet you will actually need to go with a stationary 5th wheel hitch and then change the pin box on your trailer to a Sidewinder pin box. There are no sliding 5th wheel hitches that will…

Hey Jayden, thanks for reaching out! The Firestone W217602709 (part #F2709) is the correct air bag kit for your 2025 GMC Sierra 3500, and I’d definitely recommend sticking with the 7,500-lb bags for your setup. Trucks that carry consistent bed loads,…

Since a Sidewinder like the 20K #RP34FR is a pin box replacement it won't void the warranty of your 2020 Jayco Talon 403T. With that being said, we do want to make sure that you get the correct one that fits your 5th wheel. The pin box that you…

Hey Jerry, GM moved the placement of their puck systems starting with 2020 models so you are correct that the pucks would have the hitch not sit directly over the axle. GM did the math and made sure that this placement wouldn't adversely affect…

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.…
