I am thinking about installing one on a 38ft 5th wheel, anyone out there with an option?

I have the 5th-airborne, but only because I was experiencing a little chucking and jerking on our lovely Michigan freeway expansion joints. It did make a big improvement.
But I wouldn't just install one if you are not having any similar problems.

I replaced a Leland 7910 with a 5th Airborne. The only problem I had when using original holes in trailer and pin box it moved my kingpin forward 5 1/2 inches and down 2 1/2 inches. I had to modify the trailer to get back the 2 1/2 inches as I did not have any adjustment left on the 5th wheel hitch.
