Senior Member Joined: 03/30/2005 View Profile Offline Posted: 01/04/12 06:52am Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator Looking to smooth out my ride in my truck a little. On concrete roads it seems like the trailer and truck combo slams the joints on the road. It makes the rear of the truck ride real hard. I have air bags on the truck but run min. air preasure to keep the trailer running level. Thinking about getting a TrailAir pin box. Would like to hear from people with this or other pin box modification. Is it worth the money and does it really smooth out the ride?

But it will not totally take out the harsh ride. But enough to make it comfortable.

I think your idea is probably better yet. Is that the tri-glide? Good luck. larry barnhart • View posts wenatchee. wa usa Senior Member Joined: 03/30/2001 View Profile Offline Posted: 01/04/12 08:28am Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator It could be the best item you have purchased for the life of your fifthwheel. chevman chevman 2001 35 ft avalon alpenlite RK 2005 3500 2wd duramax CC dually prodigy easyrider/reese airhitch trailair center point suspension JT Strong Arm Stabilizers KSH 55 inbed fuel tank Garmin 2720 scanguage II TD-EOC Induction Overhaul Kit southernsky • View posts Ponchatoula La.

We have an Air Safe Hitch but there are others out there as well. Pricey?? You bet. But absolutely, without a doubt -- well worth it.

Definitely takes some of the shock off the trailer. I can see the trailer moving up and down somewhat independent of the truck. And does make the truck ride smoother also. Definitely worth the money in my opinion. Looks like etrailer.com has it for $778.95, no tax/free shipping. B.O.

I bought the Tri-Glide version. The jury is still out on the Tri-Glide jaw. I get a lot of bumping and banging when starting and stopping from it. There are a couple things I need to try. The air ride portion is great! I can for sure tell the difference. I'm thinking I like the design of the Fifth Airborne better as the airbag is covered and not sitting out in the sun. But the price on mine was really right. The other concern is the Tri-Glide jaw makes it sit 1 1/2" higher than just just the standard Trail-Air which can create some trailer leveling concerns.
