I treated myself to a mor rude pinbox for my fifth wheel. Trying to reduce the chucking. Didn't turn out so well. Here is the issue. First trip with the mor ryde it does reduce the normal chucking but on serious bumps on the road the hitch bounces vertically right off the hitch in the truck. The trailer is hitched properly and my last stock non rubberized hitch didn't do this. Looking carefully when hitched there is about a 3/4" space underneath the jaws of the hitch that I guess is the amount it's bouncing off the hitch in the truck. From the drivers seat it looks really bad. Almost like it's going to fly totally off. Any ideas of the what can be done? My hitch is a Reese signature series and there is a Teflon lube plate on the mor rude.
My first guess is that the rubberized portion that is helping with the chucking is contributing with this problem by launching the trailer up after obsorbing the bumps is the road. Possible?
Anyways is there a way to fill in this space on the bottom of the pin underneath the jaws of the hitch?

Get one of these. With the 1" thick jaws there is no vertical movement. B&W
