  • When to Replace a Trailer King Pin Based on DOT Regulations
  • The Fifth Wheel Trailer King Pin # 337KP20050 is 2 inches diameter where the jaws of the 5th wheel hitch will connect. Typically the max wear on a king pin is .080 of an inch with a minimum diameter of 1.920 before manufacturers recommend replacement. DOT says the max wear is .125 of an inch with a minimum diameter of 1.875. I did not find any specs for non-commercial trailer king pin requirements from the Federal Government.

  • Upgrading Reese Revolution Pin Box To 5th Airborne Air-Ride Pin Box
  • I spoke with my contact at Reese and unfortunately you cannot upgrade from a Reese Revolution to a 5th Airborne Premium 5th Wheel Air Ride King Pin with Sidewinder # 5AS16K. When a fifth wheel trailer like your 2013 Forest River Flagstaff comes with the OEM Reese Revolution pinbox there are no other pin boxes that will fit. Once you have a Revolution pin box the only way to change it out is to do a major fabrication of your fifth wheel.

  • Replacement 5th Airborne King Pin with Sidewinder For Lippert 1716 King Pin
  • It looks like you have a Lippert pin box model 1716 on your trailer. We have just what you are looking for. If you are interested in a Sidewinder I recommend part # RP61412.

This king pin reduces vertical shock along with moving the pivot point an extra 22 inches toward the rear of the vehicle, making it easier to execute tighter turns.

  • Best Fifth Wheel Hitch for 2020 Chevy Silverado 2500
  • The fifth wheel hitch I most often recommend is the Companion by B&W, because of how well constructed, durable and easy to use it is. The Companion uses an extremely strong 1 inch thick hitch jaw that tightly holds the fifth wheel king pin. This provides for a great ride, unlike some of the entry level hitches where the king pin can rattle around in the hitch, transferring each one of those bangs and crashes to the tow vehicle. The actual hitch you need will depend on whether your hitch...

  • Replacement Pin Box for Lippert 1716 Pin Box on a 2011 Chevrolet Silverado HD Long Bed
  • In this situation, I would recommend to first check the height of your fifth wheel hitch. The height of your fifth wheel hitch should be adjustable and if your hitch can be adjusted higher that may resolve your issue. If not, then I recommend switching to a Sidewinder pin box like the Fifth Airborne Premium King Pin, part # RP61412, with a weight capacity of 16,000 lbs. With a sidewinder pin box the pivot point is at the turret that connects to the mount on the trailer rather than pivoting...

  • Goosebox/Pin Box Size For A 2023 Forest River Cherokee Arctic Wolf 291RL
  • I can certainly point you in the right direction. Unfortunately we are not able to reference the LCI item number to determine the pin box size. In a lot of cases Lippert will not list the pin box size. The best way to determine the pin box size will be to have you measure the pin box width, horizontal distance, vertical distance, front row to king pin, rear row to king pin and bolt size. I have linked our pin box measuring guide below. Once we know the size we will know what goosebox to...
