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?
