Morryde pin box

[Hammerboy]

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?

I had the same question. My trailer weighs 10060 empty and I probably have no more than 1500 lbs loaded. My gvwr is 14,000 pounds. The lighter and heavier pin box splits at 14,000 lbs gvwr. I talked to a Morryde rep and she said if I got the stiffer pin box, I would most likely get some jerking. I went with the lesser rated box.

Exactly, love ours it has made a world of difference. I called and talked to the rep and went with what they recommend.

Thanks everybody for your opinions, it is reassuring that many of you are happy going with the manufacturers recommendations.

My GVW on my 5th wheel is 14085 lbs. My MOR/RYDE is 18,000 lbs, no way would I go smaller.

It called safety, believe me you will never regret going with the 18K it will ride just fine ...

My GVW is 14085 lbs. My MOR/RYDE is 18,000 lbs. PERFECT.

Just a thought, but why not consider a pin box with an airbag instead? It is after all more adjustable and it sounds like it's your main concern.

I know the Morryde is a good product and well liked, but it may not be your best option.

fWIW I very much like the Reese Airborne pin box and after a full summer under its belt on many rough roads.

I have an 18K hitch... the fiver it was purchased for was 16k gvw . . . The new trailer has a gvw of 16.5k . . Go bigger, and go off gvw..

The Moryde that came on my 19,000 lb 5ver is rated at 21,000 lbs. Go heavier.

get a great riding hitch in the trailer saver bd3 or ts3 20k# hitch and air the bags up as you like it to ride. Probably the best hitch out there. Pricey but worth every penny..

Looks like you did what my thought was. I'll have to see what they say once I get all my numbers and weights together. Any regrets on the smaller size?

With the MORyde you can see dust marks on it where the bushings rub. I called MR to make sure that what I have was working properly. He asked me to send a pic of the dust marks. After he looked at the pics he said that the travel I was getting was spot on. Very good people to work with. No regrets at all.

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