Best Pin Box Replacement for Turning Clearance to Replace Lippert 1116 Pin Box

Question:

I have a 2018 chevy 2500hd short bed, and a Keystone Carbon with a 1116 pin box, is there a extended pin box that is not a side winder?

The Lippert 1116 pin box is a medium length pin box and there isn't an extended version available that would replace it. If you are needing additional turning clearance the way to go is with a Sidewinder since it moves the pivot point back 22-1/2 inches to provide the clearance. For that you'd just need the part # RP61412 and you'd be set.

Sidewinders also help make the trailer easier to back up as well as track better behind the truck when towing.
