5th Airborne Pin Box

Any feedback on the 5th Airborne set-ups would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Ed

Not sure of your question. But if you mean do I like mine, the answer is yes. I did not have much chucking with the original pin box. But the 5th Airborne eliminated virtually all of what I did have. And the truck seems to ride smoother.
When I am driving over some rough road, I can see in the mirror that the 5er is moving up and down somewhat independent of the truck so you know it is taking some of the shock away from the 5er.
Now if you mean setup as in installation or adjusting air pressure, that requires another answer.

We have one and it passed the wife test. The truck rode a lot smoother and we would not go back to the other pin box.

I to have had the Fifth Airborne since 07 and we love the action when going over a cattle gaurd or other rough edges. It cushions the bumps no chucking of very little if any. I would highly recommend it.

I pulled the trigger the other day and bought one. So now I have to wait until the weather is better so I can install it!!
For those who installed one, where did you relocate your junction box for the wiring?? We have a 2011 295RKD, and the box is mounted directly on the back of the "hitch"
TIA

One of my best buys since I have owned a 5th wheel. Easy install and very nice ride.
