According to our contacts at Andersen, their 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Systems like # AM3200 are compatible with the traditional Trailair Air Ride Pin Boxes, such as the part # LC158778 that you referenced. The only exception is the Trailair Rota-Flex Pin Boxes, which provide too much forward and rearward movement to work well with the Andersen.

Please note that these pin boxes are designed to replace the existing pin box on your trailer. For example, this Trailair Air Ride is designed to replace the Lippert 1621 long-jaw 5th-wheel pin box. You will just need to make sure that this is what you have on your trailer. The information should be listed on a sticker or plate somewhere on the pin box itself.

The Trailair Pin Box will not raise the camper in the nose, as it is essentially made to the exact dimensions as the Lippert 1621 it is designed to replace. The pin box itself can sometimes be raised up on the trailer by switching to higher installation holes if this is needed.

I have also attached a demonstration video on this product for you to check out.
