2011 Voltage 3950 pin box replacement

I'm seriously considering replacing the fixed pinbox on my rig with a Trailair tri-glide. I don't know what the pinbox model number is and more importantly what the equivalent Trailair model is. The measurements don't seem to match up to any of the boxes on their list.

I'm pretty sure it's a Lippert 21K pounds box.

Anybody know the numbers?

Thanks, Joe

    ... and BTW, Lippert now says that the pin box on my trailer is only rated for 18K. The GVWR of the rig is 19K. How does that work??

    Yoiks! That's about $500-600 more than I was expecting.

    Of course this part number isn't on retail vendors websites. Maybe they'll retail for less?


    Try etrailer and see what their price is. For mine its less than $1300 for the tri-glide and around $70 to ship to my door.
    eTrailer says they can't order this part. Talked to them on the phone today. Tweety's can't get it either.

    Try the following link on Tweedys site. It should help you get the right pin box replacement.

    Believe it or not, there IS a VIN sticker on the pin box - it was covered over with black paint. I scratched the paint off with my thumbnail and all I could read is the VIN of the trailer.

    I guess I'll have to ask Lippert.

    I may have misunderstood Old's question. There are no numbers stamped on the pin box but 660024 is stamped on the frame where the box mounts.

    Also, on the frame is a sticker with the number "LCI ITEM# 251110"


    Contact Lippert with those numbers..they will tell you exactly what pin box you have (1621, 1716 or 1116) and which one of their Trailair Tri-Guides fit.
