Question:
I have a 2013 Heartland Road Warrior 415RW toy hauler with a gross weight of 18K pounds. Its a Lippart chassis with a 1621 pin box I believe. My tow vehicle is a 2013 Silverado 3500 Crew Cab, long bed, DRW, with an Anderson Ultimate 5th Wheel aluminum hitch and goose neck ball. Im hoping to reduce some of the harshness in the ride. I plan to install a set of airbags to hopefully take out some of the bang on rough roads. I also want to reduce the fore and aft surge I get. Chucking I guess. Needless to say Id like to get the most banginch for my buck. Im considering the Trailair pin box or the Morryde rubber pin box. Perhaps others. What do you recommend to reducing chucking without breaking the bank?

Expert Reply:
The Trailair pin boxes can be used with the Andersen Ultimate like what you have and they provide the best bang for the buck as a cushioned pin box so you'd want the part # LC158778 which is designed for replacing the Lippert 1621.
Air bags will stiffen up your suspension, but they really won't make it smoother as they don't provide a smoother ride quality like the name would imply.
