air ride hitch and a air ride pin box

I don't know why so many people confuse the two.

You are confused between (adding) airbags (to a stock suspension) and an air suspension. I dump the air out of my air suspension, the frame is on the bumpstops.
An air suspension works almost exactly the same way as an air pinbox. The difference is the suspension has 2 airbags, the pinbox one, the air suspension supports (in my case) about 8k, the pinbox closer to 4k. Due to a lack of metal springs supporting the load, there is no over stiffness in the suspension causing the trailer to bounce in the first place.
The difference in vertical movement between the trailer and the truck is absorbed by the airbag in the hitch, the difference in vertical movement between the truck and the pavement is absorbed by the airbags in the suspension.
Most chucking is caused by the front of the trailer rapidly moving up and down, the TV pivoting on the front axle, so from the drivers seat it seems like you are being slapped in the heat by the seat. Airbags *can* help this, by supporting some of the load, and preventing the metal springs from being over flattened, then rebounding.

We have a winner :B

I would think unless the dampening rate of the two were substancially diffrent it should work fine together. Only other thing i can think of is bedrail clearence when both are somewhat compressed ?

I have a 32k TrailerSaver air ride hitch and the 5th Airborne pin on my TH. I have no issues.

the morryde is a sliding pin box I believe, the pin box on our toy hauler is a Ultra-Fab TrailAir Air Ride 5th Wheel King Pin, and the hitch is a 25K air ride hitch made by air safe, I hope this clears things up, I know someone here has, or has had the same or close to the same set up, and will chime in, or we all will have to wait till I get the toy hauler home and write a report on the combination of the 2

I have both the air safe hitch and a morryde pin

works great!

Dont believe i've read where somebody has used both. Look foward to your report :)

I have an air pinbox, and an air suspension. The pinbox modes far more then the suspension going down the road.

apples to oranges one is suspension the Ops questions are hitch related only!JMHO jb
