5th Wheel Hitting RamBoxes When Turning While Being Towed By A Ram 2500
Question:
Could this work to replace Curt Rota Flex pin box on our trailer so that I could make sharper turns without hitting the ram box?

Expert Reply:
What you're going to want to do is replace your pin box if you're hitting your Ram Boxes while making sharp turns. If you have a Lippert 1716, 1116, and 0115 pin box then # RP77FR is the correct pin box. If you have a Lippert 0719, 1621, and 1621HD then # RP34FR is the correct pin box.
The MORryde Cushioned 5th Wheel Pin Box for 11.5K to 14K Trailers w/ Atwood AB-72 # MR73VR you reference is not going to fix the issue you're having, what this is going to do is reduce back and fourth chucking and road shock while towing your 5th wheel.
Finally, you need to also make sure that your 5th wheel is compatible with a rotating pin box, if it isn't, you will need to replace it.
