Hey Richard, thanks for the information! I just spoke with Lippert and your Jayco Eagle has a Rhino pin box. To convert your standard kingpin pin box to a gooseneck connection, I recommend the Gen-Y Hitch item # GY72SB.

The Gen-Y Hitch item # GY72SB has a rubber torsion-flex system that absorbs road shock from your trailer before it's transferred to your truck. It also helps with that push pull chucking feeling you get too. This pin box focuses on driver comfort and it definitely delivers.

The MORryde option for a Rhino Box is their GooseTech item # MR74MV. This gooseneck adapter is going to help with chucking but it does not do as good of a job at absorbing bumps and road shock before it gets transferred to your truck.

You will also need the Safety Chain with 2 Hooks for Gen-Y 5th Wheel to Gooseneck Pin Box item # GY49GR for either pin box. Safety chains are required for gooseneck connections and they are not included with the pin boxes. These will attach to that cross looking cutout by the Gen-Y and MORryde logos.

What kind of truck do you have and how long is the bed? Gooseneck pin boxes do not help with turning clearance so if you're driving a shorter bed truck, I can recommend some offset adapters depending on what kind of gooseneck hitch you have or if you have a factory puck system.

You can add this information, along with any other questions you have, where it says Add Comment.

Thanks. I have a 8 foot bed and a B&W turnover setup. I currently use a B&W slider hitch with no clearance issues in the locked position. Never used the slide feature. I appreciate the response. Rich

@RichardB You're welcome! Sounds like you are all set then! Let me know if you have any additional questions.

Answer 1

Hi James, To my knowledge the Reese Goosebox is the only replacement option that won't void the frame warranty. That being said, the frame warranty is typically only a year so you really aren't losing much voiding it, especially if you've…

I have good news for you because a Reese Goose Box will not void the warranty of your Grand Design Momentum trailer. The Goose Box has been endorsed by Lippert Components, who is the manufacturer of Grand Design frames, which means it will not void…

Jim, you’ll be fine using the #PM94FR on gravel or compacted dirt. The nearly 10" by 10" square base is thick steel and helps distribute weight evenly so the jack doesn’t sink. This jack also comes with a cradle adapter for axles and…

Hey Scotty, thanks for the picture! Your Dexter D44 axle uses the standard 3,500 lb bearing combination. You can use the Hub Bearing Kit #BK2-100 or if you want to stick with Dexter, the Dexter kit #DX76ER. What trailer are you working on?

We have either a 5,200LB #8327816-EB or 6,000LB #8327826-EB axle you will be able to use to replace your current 4,400lb axle. Both these axles have the 86-1/2" hub face spread and include hubs with electric brakes and the 6 on 5-1/2" bolt…

Each of the 86-1/2 inch axles we offer, such as the 5,200 lb Dexter Trailer Axle w/ Electric Brakes #8327816-EB and 6,000 lb part #8327826-EB have 71-1/2 inch spring centers. So what you would have to do is get new spring seats welded on at the…

Answer 7

We carry a Dexter 6K axle that comes very close to the measurements you specified. The #8327826-EB has an 86-1/2 inch hub face to hub face dimension, which means it would only be 3/4 of an inch longer on each side which should still work well for…

Hi Jerry, The TST website shows that their cap style sensors like part #TST47FR will work with either rubber or metal valve stems, so the rubber valve stems you have currently will work just fine. If you're still wanting to switch to metal valve…

The difference between the Class II and Class III hitches has to do with their Gross Trailer Weight (GTW), their Tongue Weight (TW), and their Hitch Receiver Size. Class II trailer hitch receivers have a 1-1/4 inch receiver and can be rated up to…

Answer 10

Since the pin weight of your camper is 2.1k, I recommend going with the LoadLifter 5000 opposed to the 7500. While technically there is not reason you couldn't use the 7500 kit, it really is not necessary for a camper like yours. Generally the…

According to Blue Ox, it'll take an experienced installer about 4 to 5 hours to complete the installation of their #BX1128 Base Plate Kit on a 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The install isn't what I'd call super-difficult, but the installation…

Hi Paul, you’re definitely on the right track here, and I can help you narrow this down with confidence. With your tandem 3,500 lb Dexter axles and 33 inch spacing, both the Dexter EZ Flex part #K71-652-00 and the Lippert Road Armor part #LC53CK are…
