Hey Bill, great question!

The Gen-Y Hitch Shock Absorbing 5th Wheel Pin Box - Lippert 1116 and 1716 - 30,000 lbs - 4.5K TW # GY45SR will fit in place of your MORryde RPB72-1716, but you'll want to verify that the 4.5K TW rating is best for your trailering needs.

If you look up the GVWR of your trailer and multiply it by 0.22 your tongue weight needs to fall into the 2,600-3,599 lbs range in order for this to work properly. If it's in the 1,600-2,599 lbs range you need the box # GY35FR but if it's in the 3,600-4,599 lbs range you need the # GY23FR instead.

Let me know if you have any other questions!
