Once the hardware is securely bolted down, you'll be ready to go. After removing your old pin box, the MORryde can be mounted into place using the same hardware and bolt holes used by the factory pin box.īecause of the weight of the unit, you'll want a couple of friends to help you lift it into place during installation. This MORryde pin box is a direct replacement for your existing Lippert Rhino pin box, so the installation is very straightforward. To combat this, glide pads are built into the MORryde pin box that allow the skid plate to shift up to 3' forward and backward and 1-1/2' side to side to compensate for some of that violent motion so that you don't have to feel it in your cab. So when a harsh stop occurs, all of the trailer's forward momentum gets forced through that stiff connection, slamming the king pin in the hitch and jerking your truck around. A typical, factory pin box creates a rigid connection without much give. And if your trailer's GVWR was less than 18,000 lbs, then the spring would be too flexible to provide adequate support.Ĭhucking, the back-and-forth jerking movement you feel in your cab when towing, occurs most frequently during starts and stops and while making turns. If this pin box were to be used on a larger trailer, the spring would be too stiff to provide enough cushion. The internal rubber shear spring is optimized for trailers that range from 18,001 lbs to 21,000 lbs to ensure that it provides just the right amount of shock absorption for your application. And because this unit uses a rubber spring instead of an internal air bag like some other upgraded pin boxes, there's no maintenance required. In other words, the rubber spring takes the brunt of the impact so you and your towing setup don't have to. So if you're driving on unpaved roads or uneven pavement, this pin box will prevent any road shock and vibration you encounter from transferring from your tow vehicle to your fifth-wheel trailer and vice versa. This MORryde pin box, however, is built with an internal rubber spring that absorbs road shock and vibration at the connection point. There is no cushioning built in, so a factory pin box doesn't do anything to provide a comfortable ride when you're hauling your fifth-wheel trailer. Most standard pin boxes are constructed of steel and are built with the sole purpose of connecting your fifth-wheel trailer to your tow vehicle.
