Question:
Is there a B&W gooseneck pin box that'll work with a Lippert 1116 pin box? All I am seeing are Rhino Box and 1621 replacements. I really hope you have one.

There sure is Steve and welcome back! To replace your Lippert 1116 pin box, you'll need the B&W 5th Wheel to Gooseneck Pin Box item # BW73RV and the Shim Kit item # BW57MV.
The B&W 5th Wheel to Gooseneck Pin Box item # BW73RV is designed for trailers with up to a 3,250 lbs tongue weight. If yours is above that you'll need the B&W item # BW83RV, which works with tongue weights up to 4,500 lbs. The pin boxes have different capacity springs so you'll definitely want to follow the tongue weight recommendation to have the smoothies ride possible.
The brackets on the 1116 pin boxes are narrow, so they require the B&W Shim Kit item # BW57MV to add the additional width to accept the B&W 5th Wheel to Gooseneck Pin Box item # BW73RV. There is no drilling or modifications required to replace your pin box.
These new gooseneck pin boxes are great. They come with new mounting hardware, safety chains, and there's no break in period.
What kind of trailer do you have?
