Hey Gary! The Gen-Y Hitch Shock Absorbing 5th Wheel Pin Box # GY68GR will work with your Andersen hitch. However, I can't say for sure if you will still be able to jackknife your trailer. The Gen-Y Hitch Executive is roughly 2" shorter than the Lippert 1621 or 1621 HD pin box which means the clearance between your trailer and tow vehicle might be reduced.
What kind of 5th wheel do you have?

I purchased a Jen-Y 5th wheel pin box for my 3500 Chevy dually, Big difference when pulling my 46' tripple axle Toy hauler. It was a direct replacement for my Lippert 1621HD Be careful, it raised the front of my camper 4" I had to lower my 5th wheel plate 2" and with the additional 2" it sat perfectly where I wanted it.
