Upgraded Pin Box Replacement Recommendation for a Trailer with a Lippert 1621 Pin Box
Question:
I have a lippert king pin 1621, GVWR 15,500 and looking to upgrade to something better looking at a 5th airborne or a Trailer Flex Air can you recommend a nice king pin replacement. Thank you

For a replacement pin box for your Lippert 1621 I would recommend a 5th Airborne with a Sidewinder part # RP61422.
This will give you a cushioned pin box to help reduce chucking and will also allow you to make tight turns with a short bed truck without having to use a slider hitch. Also, even if you have a long bed truck the Sidewinder will still benefit you as it will allow the trailer to track better behind the truck and will make reversing much easier as well.
I attached a help article and an install video for the Sidewinder.
