For an amazing replacement for your Fabex MDL 665 pinbox, I recommend the Gen-Y Hitch Shock Absorbing 5th Wheel Pin Box # GY65SR. The Gen-Y pinbox is designed to fit the bolt pattern of your fifth-wheel trailer. As far as capacity, it has a really high capacity of 30,000 lbs of maximum towing capacity and 4.5K tongue weight capacity. It comes with shock-absorbing technology to provide you with an ultra smooth, steady ride. On top of it all, it is 100% made in the U.S.A.

If you need a lighter weight capacity option, that is the # GY95FR. This model has a maximum towing capacity of 18k and a tongue weight capacity of 4.5k tongue weight.

It is important to get the model as close to your trailer's weight capacity as possible to get the optimum benefits from the shock absorbing mechanism. I went ahead and attached a demo video of the # GY65SR and the # GY95FR for you to check out.
