I do have an option for you but the 5th Airborne Premium Fifth Wheel Air Ride Coupler - Extended part # 5AB-E510-710 is not a fit to replace the Lippert 1116 pin box. The 5th Airborne Premium Fifth Wheel Air Ride Coupler 5AB-E510-710 is designed to replace pin boxes Fabex (500, 503, 765, and 770) Lippert (1716) and RBW (7028).
The 5th Airborne Premium Fifth Wheel Air Ride Coupler that you need to replace the Lippert 1116 is part # 5AB-S500-700. This is a cushioned pin box designed to absorb road shock to relieve stress on the frame and make for a smoother ride. However this pin box is not extended. We do not have an extended pin box available at this time to replace the Lippert 1116.
If you are looking for an extended pin box for cab clearance issues, I recommend to use the 5th Airborne Premium 5th Wheel Air Ride King Pin w/ Sidewinder and Turret part # RP61412 which will replace the 1116 and move the pivot point back 22" for turning clearance. You will need to use a fixed hitch with this set up though (not sliding). If you let me know your year make and model I am happy to recommend more parts.
