I have a solution for you, but I can't recommend you install a pin box designed for a different pin box on your trailer that originally has a 1716 Lippert on it.
Since you are looking for a longer pin box most likely you are looking for something to give you additional clearance for turning.
Instead you would want the Sidewinder part # RP61412 that has been confirmed as a fit for your trailer and will move the pivot point of your trailer back 22 inches which will give you better clearance around corners.
