flex air pin box
Has anyone had any experience with the flex air pin box?
Forum Discussion
Just a related comment. I was interested in the Flex Air but was concerned it might raise the front of my fifth wheel too far off level. My 2015 GMC 2500 with airbags already sits pretty high and I currently tow about 2" nose high. I can't go any lower to eliminate the 2" because I need the truck bed rail clearance.
So I contacted Flex Air to inquire if changing to their pinbox would raise the trailer and they were very helpful and said yes it would. Their design that adds airbag and shocks on the front gives a better ride but it does indeed raise the front end 2 or 3". In my case, I couldn't compensate by raising the pinbox and I didn't want to spend the money to have the trailer frame raised.
I am now considering the Reese Airborne whose design places the airbag and shock internal and either won't raise my nose or may in fact lower 1". I believe the Airborne would be better than my stock 1621 but probably is not as good as the larger Flex Air. By the way, best price I've seen on the Airborne is CARiD.com.
