Expert Reply:
The Gen-Y Hitch Shock Absorbing 5th Wheel Pin Box - Lippert 1621 and Lippert 1621 HD - 18,000 lbs # 325-GH-8040 you were looking at is rated for 18000lbs trailer weight and 3500lbs pin weight, so this will likely be the best option for you as long as your current pin box is a Lippert 1621 or 1621HD.
If your loaded trailer has a pin weight that exceeds the 3500lb maximum when loaded stepping up to the Gen-Y Hitch Shock Absorbing 5th Wheel to Gooseneck Pin Box - Lippert 1621/1621 HD - Auto Latch - 25K # GY66FR would be needed as it has a 5500lb pin weight rating.
Both of the pin boxes mentioned are designed to replace the Lippert 1621 or 1621HD so to confirm which pin box you have on your trailer you will want to check the pin box itself for a sticker that has the model on it. If the sticker is missing just send me the brand and serial number of your pin box and I would be happy to identify it for you.
I included videos for each of the products mentioned for you to take a look at.
