Shouldn't. The airbags are for leveling your truck. They will do nothing for chucking.I have the hensley TS-3 airbag hitch on the truck My previous trailer had a solid hitch and truck had a Curt hitch and i had tremendous chucking. I installed the hensley TS-3 on the truck and totally eliminated the chucking. I bought a new truck and transferred the hensley to this truck and bought the Montana and the ride is the same with the Montana and the old trailer because of the Hensley. Rv's may change but i will always have this hitch as long as i pull a 5th wheel.

Anyone heard or used the Demco Glideride. It looks like a chucking type eliminator.

We just bought a new Montana 3120 and I spoke to 2 factory reps they have switched from Mor/Ryde to Rotoflex, I was told they Keystone worked closely with Lippert to come up with a system they say is just as good as the Mor/Ryde if not better for towing.

I use and Andersen Ultimate Aluminum so when I pick it up in a few weeks I will see first hand how well it rides.

It may be just as good, may be better, and certainly costs less. The last surely was a huge part of the decision.

So far the Roto-Flex on our 2018.5 3791RD works just as well as the MorRyde did on our 2012 3585SA. Wouldn't choose one over the other.

Eagleback ... I had the Demco Glide Ride on my 2005 and liked it. It's a simple design of 4 arms attached to a plate with the king pin welded to it that self centers when the weight of the fiver is put on it. It eliminate just as much chucking as the MorRyde on my 2011. As for the "Rotoflex" discussion ... I heard Lippert made a deal with Trail Air to supply their products (pinbox, equalizer) on Lippert frames, thus the "Road Armor" brand. If you look close ... decal and paint color is the difference from Trail Air products. I also agree that $$$$ was involved in the partnership.

My last 2 trailers have had Morryde pins. That said, both pin assys were rated @19,000lbs. My trailer has a gvwr of 14,900lbs. I removed the rubber block which had a #5 molded in the side and replaced it with a #4 block. The higher the number the stiffer the rubber block.

So for a lighter trailer, you need a softer block for the trailer to work against. The rubber block is the one in the pin assy. Worked for me.

You may want to check on this:
Note: Do not use the Trailair Rota-Flex pin box with any type of gooseneck adapter.

And MORryde is not compatible either. I was looking at the Andersen Ultimate Hitch

Your MORryde Pin Box System is not compatible with:
• Gooseneck extention couplers.
