Question:

looking at this pin box up grade,i am concerned of the height overall of my 5ver. i have a 2011 ram 3500 SRW,current hitch is BandW slider whitch i have set to lowest setting for height and my pin box is the lippert trailair rotoflex 19k standard that came on my 2019 Montana is also raised to get the nose down for level ride. will this pin box raise the front up even more? It looks like it sits higher to me but with the flex on the pin just not sure.Truck is stock suspension and tires too. Thanx

The Gen-Y Hitch Shock Absorbing 5th Wheel Pin Box part # 325-GH-8040 will have dimensions similar to the Lippert Trailair RotoFlex so you should not have an issue with the trailer not being level if you did not before. That said, I have attached a photo with the dimensions of the pin box for you if you want to confirm beforehand.

If the trailer was nose high after installing the pin box and making your adjustments, there is always the option to raise the trailer like with the Dexter Trailer Springs Over-Under Conversion Kit part # K71-384-00 or part # K71-385-00 for example.
