The Lippert Turning Point Pin Box cannot be replaced as it is welded to the brackets. Therefore, you cannot use a Reese Goose Box 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Air Ride Coupler Adapter on a trailer with a Lippert Turning Point Pin Box. Instead, I recommend just installing a 5th wheel hitch on your 2017 Ram 2500 as the factory prep package will eliminate any drilling.

For a 5th wheel hitch, I recommend the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch part # BWRVK3600. The B&W Companion is one of the best 5th wheel hitches on the market. It has 1" think dual jaws which will drastically reduce the amount of chucking and jarring. The head is also fully articulating and has three different height settings. All B&W hitches are made in the U.S.A. and come with a lifetime warranty.

I have attached a review video for you as well.
