The Road Armor pin box is just like the Trailair Rota-Flex so you'll need the Demco Autoslide Capture Plates for Trailair Rota-Flex Pin Boxes # DM6171 in order to lock your pin box to the head Demco Autoslide 5th Wheel Hitch # DM79GV and prevent it from pivoting.

These will simply swap out the factory capture plates that you currently have.
