Just beginning to research replacing my pin box with a Morryde. Question I have is they tell you to order based on your units gvwr. I'm wondering if I am better off going with the size smaller than what my gvwr says. Loaded I would still be 1500# under using smaller size, so therefore would the correct size would be to stiff? Dan

Your thinking cheap. Think instead safety. Order, or buy at least equal to or greater than the fivers GVWR

Not thinking cheap, they are all the same price I believe. My point is I don't want it too stiff to the point it's not doing its job. Dan

Going too small will give you more pulsation when you stop and go.

I have that pin box aND it works well. Do what Mor Ryde says and order based on GVWR.

call them and ask about your RV. They know what series will work best with what weights.

Don't pick the pin box based on how you load the vehicle, size it for the GVWR. If you undersized it and the next owner has a pin box failure, guess whose gonna be liable for all the damages??

The only reason I was thinking of going to the smaller ones is because the smaller one is within 400 pounds of my gvwr but yet 1500 pounds in reserve over real world weight. But it sounds like a question for the Moryde reps. And I'm sure they'll tell me the same thing as I'm hearing here - to go with the actual size needed. Only reason I ask is because I heard of some owners having to go to the lighter rubber pucks because it was too stiff. I will definitely start out with what Morryde says to do.

Use this to get the right part number MoRyde pinbox. Mine is 16k gvw on a 11k 5er and works great.

I ordered mine based on my loaded weight. I have 4315 lbs for CCC. No way do I load that. I only load about 1500 lbs into it. I would call and tell them your loaded weight and get their opinion.
