Hey Tom, I might have a solution for you but there isn't a longer pin box available designed to replace your Lippert 1716. But if you were wanting a longer pin box because you wanted better turning clearance we do have a solution for that with the Lippert Sidewinder part # RP77FR which gives you 22-1/2 inches of additional turning clearance since it moves the pivot point back that far. Is why you wanted a longer pin box?

Hey Tom, did the Sidewinder end up giving you the extra turning clearance you needed with your trailer? Knowing how it worked for you could help others looking for more space when towing.
