Gen-Y Shock Absorbing 5th Wheel Pin Box For Brinkley 5th Wheel With 18K GVWR  

Updated 10/02/2024 | Published 09/23/2024

Question:

Good afternoon, I have a question about your GEN-Y 325-GH-8040. I’m wanting to see if this is sufficient for my fifth wheel. It’s a Brinkly 3610, GVW of around 18k. Do you recommend that I go a little bit higher? Or is there another hitch that may be preferred over This one.

Hello Donnie, thanks for getting in touch. The Gen-Y Hitch Shock Absorbing 5th Wheel Pin Box # 325-GH-8040 may work for your camper. This model is designed to replace the Lippert 1621 and 1621 HD pin boxes. There is no way for me to look up what pin box your camper is currently equipped with, so this is something you will need to confirm. There should be a sticker on your pin box that has the brand, model number, serial number and it may even have the pin box size number. If the size is not listed (it usually isn't) let me know the model number and serial number of your pin box and I can use that to determine the size. One we know the pin box size we can make sure you get the correct model.

Since your GVWR is 18K, you will want to go with the 4.5K model like # GY68GR.

The Gen-Y pin boxes are a great option for an upgraded pin box. You get the shock absorption of an air ride system, only without the maintenance. The torsion rubber lasts a very long time. They come with a 5-year warranty, but most folks never use it since the pin box usually outlasts the camper.

@DonnieO We carry the GH-8051 as part # GY78GR. This is designed to replace the Lippert Rhino pin box, so you will need to confirm that is what you have.

@DonnieO Ok perfect! The # GY78GR is exactly what you will need. This is the correct model for the 18K GVW.
