How Much Does the Gen-Y Shock Absorbing 5th Wheel Pin Box Weigh
Question:
What is the weight of the Gen-Y pin box, and will it void the chassis warranty on a new fifth wheel, particularly an Alliance Paradigm 310RL?

The Gen-Y Hitch Shock Absorbing 5th Wheel Pin Box - Lippert 1621 and 1621 HD - 18,000 lbs - 3.5K TW # 325-GH-8040 weighs 125-lbs. However, after speaking with the tech and warranty department over at Lippert, the Gen-Y pin boxes are not "endorsed" for use on a Lippert chassis. I don't recommend this for a new coach with the warranty still in tact for that reason.
If you wanted to replace your Lippert 1621 pin box with a pin box that would give you an upgraded ride quality then I recommend using the Trailair Flex Air 5th Wheel Pin Box - Lippert 1621 - 21,000 lbs # LC369535. The Trailair Flex Air is made by Lippert, so the factory warranty won't be affected by installation. The Trailair will help reduce chucking and absorb road shock to provide you with a smoother towing experience that's a nice alternative to the Gen-Y pin box.
I've linked a short review video of this pin box for you to check out.
