Expert Reply:
Hi Bruce; the MORryde GooseTech 5th Wheel to Gooseneck Pin Box # MR97MV doesn't have any real vertical movement. However, the rubber spring will still absorb and dampen road shock at the connection point within the pin box. The rubber sheer spring has 3" of fore/aft travel because that is the direction chucking occurs. This is caused be the acceleration and deceleration of your truck.
Do you have a Lippert 1621 bolt patter? The # MR97MV is designed to fit a 1621 on trailers between 14,000 lbs to 18,000 lbs GTW. If you aren't sure about your current pin box you can send me the serial number (S/N) off of yours and I can identify it through Lippert.
