asked by: Rudy M
Helpful Expert Reply:
The Trailair Flex Air 5th Wheel Pin Box part # LC369535 which is rated for 21,000 lbs is constructed of a thicker metal and also has beefier welds when compared to the Trailair Flex Air 5th Wheel Pin Box part # LC328492 which is rated for 18,000 lbs. The air bag and shock that is used in each of them are the same. The thicker metal and welds are what gives the former a higher weight capacity. The best option for you would be the one that meets the GVWR of your trailer though you could go higher for more of a safety margin if you wish to.

I am looking at the air ride pin box and I have the LIPP 1621 HD. My camper gvwr is 18,000 lbs. What is the difference between the Air Ride, the Trail Aut and the Flex Air that you carry
