Hey Ray, since we know your 2022 Cedar Creek 360RL has a Rhino Box pin box on it and the GVWR is 16,525 lbs for a cushioned pin box I would recommend the Curt Flexair part # LC65VR. This is only option that has vertical and horizontal cushioning plus it has an air spring which allows you to tailor exactly how much support you want to get the ride quality as smooth as possible.
The other option I like if you want something simpler is the Curt Helux part # C85MJ which has a metal spring instead. The upside of this is that you never have to worry about checking air pressure in your pin box and it also does a great job providing a cushioned ride quality. It is the correct spring rating for your pin weight also so the support should be just right.
