Morryde SRE4000 vs CRE300 or...Pin Box???
Hi, I am considering an upgrade to smooth out the ride of my trailer. I have an Open Range trailer that is about 13k loaded and has Lippert equalizers. Truck is a Ram 3500. Ride is pretty level. ...

If you have the B&W Patriot on ISR rails you could just order a TrailerSaver TS3 and be done with it. Chucking and bouncing forces are generated by your trailer. Your B&W hitch transmits those forces directly to the frame of your truck and the seat of your pants. Trailer suspension and pin box mods help and many times bring the ride to acceptable levels but no guarantees.
The chucking and bouncing forces are timed so that when the pin is pushing down it is also pushing forward. The TS3 with their high hinge design also retracts while compressing dissipating both forces. The trailer is still bouncing and chucking, however, 90+ percent of that energy isn't reaching the frame of your truck. You will still feel it when the truck goes over a bump but not when the trailer rolls over the same bump. I had severe chucking issues and went with the hitch - gone.
The hitch is heavy and expensive but the economics make sense. You can sell your B&W, old suspension parts and pin boxes have virtually no value. You will pay nothing in labor which is vaporized money. You will own a very nice hitch which can be sold easily later on. Your smiles will make up for any other financial differences.
If you have a Companion, ignore this as the TS3 is not adaptable to a gooseneck ball.
