You got an air pin box. That should be sufficient. Unless you want to give us some of your Canadian dollars to help even out the trade deficit.

I dont think you need both, 5th AB should be all that you need.

I have the Fifth Airborne pinbox and don't really see the need for a airride hitch.

Same here, one or the other, no need for both.

Yes, I have both a TrailAir pin box and a Trailersaver Hitch. We purchased a new truck and I decided to change the hitch from a Pullrite Super5th/Super Rails, which I still have available, to the TrailerSaver hitch. I removed the Trailair pin box from the trailer and reinstalled the original pin box because I thought it would be " overkill ". After a few trips, and since I still had the TrailAir, I installed it again on the trailer to see if there was improvement in the ride. I'm glad I did. Having both gives us a very smooth ride. If the added cost of having both isn't prohibited I'd go with both.

We had Trail Air pin box on 5er when we got our MDT it came with air hitch, they did not work well together. After testing we went with the Trail Air pin box it does a better job for air ride in our 5er and truck.
