Does your SB have shocks on the axles? If not add them.

Pin box is going to do S*** for your breakage issues, might make your ride better, but the 5er is still back there beating its self to death!!

See the two post above, level the 5er so it isn't trying to hop over bumps. SHOCKS!!! this will make the best improvement, and wet bolts. If it isn't current set up for shocks Lippert makes a kit with shocks (made in China) well the brackets are good!! :S I got about two years out of the shocks, just replaced with Monroe 555001's and we are back to a very smooth ride.
This is with a standard pin box.

Keep in mind too many go for the "quick Fix" which really isn't a fix at all it just mask the issues the 5er has.
One really needs to fix the 5er, then think about the ride in the TV, because once the 5er is fixed, the TV ride will be much better also.

I really disagree with the above post because we have had an airhitch since April 2001. The reason is the alpenlite floats up and down softly. That means the jerk from steel to steel would make items bounce harder. this is so easy to notice looking back in the rear view mirror or any mirror. The trailair pin box should do the same.
