5th wheel Air pin box or air hitch

[Johncmr]

Hi folks.  Got a question, anyone out there have experience with the "anti-clunking" air pin boxes or air hitch?  I'm thinking of the "5th Airborn Sidewinder" for my '05 F250 SD V10 shortbed, but the cost is kinda high without an unbiased recommendation.

Will go with a 32.5 NuWa Snowbird.

thanks

I just had the sidewinder and air ride pin box installed as a combo on my new toy hauler. This is my first 5er, but I have done plenty of trailer towing. The sidewinder puts the pivot point at the camper instead of the kingpin, which give you plenty of turning radius. I have a shortbed chevy and no slider hitch and can go past 90 degrees with plenty of clearance. The 5th Airborne hitch is for the ride, I was very impressed with it on an 870 mile trip home from Jackson, TN to Easton, MD. There was lots of stretches of rough road, and construction zones that it performed as advertised on. I don't mind paying for something if it works, and I am glad I purchased it. I put a picture of it here also.
