Hey Lenard, since we know your 2022 Heartland Cyclone 4270 has a Lippert 1621 pin box we don't currently have a Curt Helux that would fit it but for a great cushioned pin box option we have the Curt Flex Air part # LC328492 which will do a really great job giving you a smoother ride quality as it offers both vertical and horizontal cushioning. This will work great with your B and W hitch as well.

Hey Lenard, did the Curt Flex Air pin box work out for your Heartland Cyclone? I'm asking because your experience could help others looking for a smoother ride.

@JamesonC Yes, it did fit and it is a smoother ride with a lot less chucking. It does look like it points downward so I asked the mechanic at the RV service center when we were there. He came out and agreed it was pointing down but assured me I should not have any problems because what my concern was dealing with hard turns it looked as if it would hit, but after looking closer if the truck was jack knifed that far the truck bumper would be hitting. Overall I am pleased with the product and it is a two man lift to install. Lucky I have a small tractor to help.

@LenardP Glad it's working well! Ideally you adjust the head of your hitch or the pin box height to allow the trailer to sit level.
