Question:
Hello, Im looking at the curt helix gooseneck pin box. I have the curt flex air and wonder how it compares? The flex air has the rotating head the the gooseneck seems to only have the spring. Would this be a downgrade ride quality wise? Im also looking at the morryde GooseTech. I dont mind filling with air if it gives me the best ride but it would he nice to have my bed back, but again, ride quality trumps bed space. I have a BandW companion hitch. Thank you!

Hey Clarendon, the ride quality you have now with the Curt Flex Air will be right at the same as the Helux # C34HB. They both provide great ride quality but what we have found is that the GooseTech is just the best overall since the horizontal cushioning of it just makes a much bigger impact than the vertical cushioning of the Helux.
For a Goosetech that fits the same Rhino Box pin box as the Helux you mentioned you'd want the part # MR64MV.

Thats good to know. It's seems like with the flex air, even with the airbag and shock, sometimes the vertical shock is still present. Very much reduced but that were I'd like to see improvement if I change pin boxes. Thank you!
