Independent Suspensioin vs. Air Hitch
am interested in hearing from those that have either or both of the these features which would give the best cushioning of the trailer when towing. My trailer currently has a MorRyde leaf spring/equal...

I have the MorRyde pinbox and also a Hensley air hitch. I get a great ride. Almost heaven. No chucking and no bouncing due to potholes, cracks in the road, etc. I fulltime and found out long ago that having the right equipment makes all the difference. I positively enjoy going down the road.
It's important to understand that the MorRyde pinbox works to alleviate back and forth 'chucking' and that the air hitch helps with decreasing/eliminating up and down motion from bad highways, railroad tracks, etc. These are two separate types of motion. And I think the truck's longevity is increased as well as the 5er's.
I especially like the air hitch. There's an insulation factor at work - The truck does not pass along any abrupt pothole bounces to the 5er, and the 5er does not pass along anything to the truck.
My 5er also has OEM shock absorbers and I'm sure that helps too; just not sure how much.
