Compatibility of Reese 5th Airborne Sidewinder Pin Box to Replace Lippert Turning Point

Question:

Im interested in replacing my Turning Point pin box with a Reese Airborne Sidewinder Pin Box. I have a 2021 Flagstaff Ultralight model 526RK same as a 2020 if that helps. Is there a model of the Sidewinder that will fit my Flagstaff?

Unfortunately the Lippert Turning Point Pin Box cannot be replaced by the Sidewinder. The Turning point will give you a similar turning radius to the Reese Sidewinder pin box so the only real benefit a Sidewinder can have is the air bag included in the 5th Airborne Sidewinder like # RP61422 you asked from.

If you are looking to have a smoother ride, I recommend you look at options like Rear Suspension Enhancement for your tow vehicle and shock absorption for the suspension of the 5th wheel like the Equa-Flex Cushioned Equalizers - Double Eye Springs - Tandem Axle - 3K to 6K # LC279687.
