We do have cushioned pin boxes that will fit and work well in place of a Lippert 1116 but the Tri-Glide was phased out a while ago and no longer available.

Instead we have the Trailair Pin Box part # LC155943 which would be a great option that is cushioned and a confirmed fit.

I checked with Lippert and the pin box you have is a 1116 style pin box with a 21k capacity so the correct cushioned pin box is the Trailair part #LC155943.
