There should be a plate or sticker on the pin box of your trailer that lists what pin box manufacturer and model number is on the trailer. With that information you can pick out the correct Trailair pin box.

If you don't have the plate or sticker, you will need to measure the bolt holes of the pin box to determine which one you have.
