Cushioned Pin Box to Replace Lippert 1621 for use With PullRite Super Glide

Question:

Can I use this with my PullRite super Glide and if so will my 1621 capture plate work with it? Thanks

There is an option for a cushioned pin box you can use with your PullRite Super Glide, but based my research there aren't any compatible capture plates for the Gen-Y Hitch Shock Absorbing 5th Wheel Pin Box - Lippert 1621 and Lippert 1621 HD - 18,000 lbs # 325-GH-8040. So you would need to go a different direction and also get a new capture plate designed for use with the specific pin box.

The one I know will work for you as a replacement for the Lippert 1621 is the Trailair Flex Air 5th Wheel Pin Box - Lippert 1621 - 18,000 lbs # LC328492.

This would then require PullRite capture plate 33176 (though we do not carry the PullRite line so you would need to source it from them). The Flex Air is a fantastic upgrade for a cushioned pin box as it combines an air spring with a rubber compound in the head assembly to give you the best overall ride.

The rubber compound takes the initial jarring back-and-forth road shock and cushions it, while the air spring absorbs the up-and-down road shock so you get the best of both worlds when towing your trailer and the most comfortable ride.

I have added links below to video reviews for you to check out as well of the Trailair Flex Air 5th Wheel Pin Box # LC328492.
