For a cushioned pin box to replace your Lippert 1116 pin box I would recommend the Trailair Glide part # LC155943 as it has been confirmed as replacement fit.

Integrated steel rollers allow the bottom jaw to glide, reducing the push and pull that is typical in fifth-wheel towing. The internal air bag cuts down on bounce by absorbing road shock.

The Trailair Tri-Glide works to defeat this troublesome occurrence by incorporating steel rods into the bottom of the pin box. These three rods act as rollers, allowing the bottom portion of the jaw to glide just enough to minimize the struggle that typically occurs when your tow vehicle slows down or speeds up. By moving along with the tow vehicle, the gliding plate essentially gives the pin box a moment to catch up with the movement expected of it so that your truck and trailer will no longer fight each other.
