The truck used to bottom out against the jounce stops. They also raised the truck about 1 inch so the rear helper springs are not weighted. Super easy to install, diy < 1 hr.
That being said, we have the Rotaflex pin box but still looking at a more compliant box. We’ve got an Alaska trip planned this year so now considering the Goosebox from what members have said here.

Goosebox all the way for us. After a little over a year with our Gen 3, it has lived up to the hype. When crossing badly engineered bridge abutments, it is peace of mind observing the nose of the fiver gently "float" up and back down independent of the truck, knowing there is less shock transfers to the trailer frame. Others will have differing opinions, but we will never go back to a standard fifthwheel hitch setup. We have a pin weight of 3520 lbs and run Firestone airbags on our DRW long bed Ram
