Expert Reply:
Between the 5th Airborne Cushioned Pin Box # ST400-5AS16K and the Trailair part # UF35-946208 the Trailair will do a better job reducing chucking as the kin pin plate can move further up and down than the 5th Airborne which allows it to provide more cushioning.
The king pin plates are on an air bag which provides support and are dampened by a shock to slow the movement and smooth it out even further. The more "suspension travel" that the plate has the better of a job it does to cushion the ride.
