New Pin Box Selection
I have a 2011 Fuzion 322 Touring Edition that I'm going to replace the stock model 1116 pin box. I've researched the top models (Trailair, 5th Airborne, Mor/ryde) and narrowed it down to the Trailair but Lippert has discontinued the Trailair Tri-Glide and replaced it with the Flex Air which I like even more. Problem is, Lippert doesn't currently make it for the 1116 yet.
Any opinions on other suggestions? I don't mind buying the Tri-Glide as they are still available online but they have not been marked down in price and I really don't want to pay full price for a discontinued mode. I called Lippert and they told me they'll eventually make the Flex Air for the 1116 but don't have any idea when that might happen. I am going on a long trip beginning of June and would like to improve the ride before I leave. Tow vehicle is a 2015 F450, trailer is level, but I want to improve the chucking and ride on our many concrete roads here in Texas. I know it won't completely eliminate all the bumps but I want an improvement.
I prefer both the vertical and longitudinal movement of the Trailair technology. Does the 5th Airborne provide this? I can find very little on the 5th Airborne as far as exactly what it does while the Trailair has numerous videos and information online. I guess what I'm asking is would most of you buy the discontinued Tr-Glide at full price, wait on the Flex Air with an undetermined production date, or choose another brand? I've been trying to find a used Tri-Glide but only found one and the guy won't go below $800 and for that price I'll buy a new one. It's got some rust and been sitting outside for the last 2-3 years so I just don't see giving $800 for that one.
