From what I can find, it looks like your 2007 Forest River Wildcat 24RL has a Lippert 1621 pin box. Using that pin box number as a reference, I recommend the Trailair Air Ride 5th Wheel Pin Box - Lippert 1621 - 21,000 lbs # LC158778. This drastically reduces chucking and minimizes bounce as well as road shock. The internal air bag and built-in strut provide a scissor-like motion to compress and rebound for a smooth ride.

Another great option is the Reese 5th Airborne Premium Fifth Wheel Air Ride Coupler - 21,000 lbs Capacity # 5AB-E1621-610. This pin box reduces chucking by nearly 60% and decreases vertical shock by 44%. This not only provides a smoother ride, but relieves stress on trailer frame and vibration on internal components and contents. This pin box has a more aerodynamic design.

If you are looking for greater turning clearance on your Tundra, I recommend the 5th Airborne Premium 5th Wheel Air Ride King Pin w/ Sidewinder and Turret - 16,000 lbs # RP61422. This will give you a smoother ride and will give you the air bag for smoother ride.
