If you don't already have one, I would consider spending the money you are going to pay a welder and invest in a good air hitch. In my mind, if you reinforce the pin box area, the shock waves are going to move farther down your frame and attack other welds. An air hitch will alleviate the pounding your pin takes by softening the joint. It will take the bouncing energy your truck and trailer develops and convert it into heat, then dissipate it into the atmosphere. Without a soft joint, frame flex gets to dissipate the energy.
