Upgraded Pin Box to Replace Lippert 1621 That Will Not Affect Trailer Ride Height
Question:
My 2017 Forest River Wild Cat 5th wheel came with a Lippert 1621 15K pin box and I would like to upgrade this pin box to a version that has an air-bag /shock absorption type pin box setup. At the same time though, I dont want the pin box to add any additional ride height to the front of RV and visually it looks like the Reese Airborne meets this criteria. My TV is a 2017 F350 SC SB and Im using a Reese 16K round tube slider Titan 5th wheel hitch. Thanks.

Helpful Expert Reply:
The 5th Airborne Premium Air Ride Coupler, part # RP78FR, is designed not to add any additional height to your towing setup so it's your best option.
The Trailair options, the Rota-Flex # LC328330 and the Flex Air # LC328492, both usually add about 2 inches or so.
