After doing some research, I've learned that the many people replace the stock pin box with something like a trail air or MorRyde. Is this necessary? I'm completely a novice to fifth wheel setups and could use some advice. Who has a stock pin box? Is it ok? Do you feel you should upgrade? What say you?

I have a standard pin box. It rides fine. For the money it would cost for an air ride I would put the money into something else. JMO

I could not be more happier with my slider. The first trip with a regular hitch and I dented my cab missing the window by a quarter inch.

You may not need a slider with your current camper, but....what happens if you trade and the new one doesn't have the rounded nose? It may be crunch time as it was with ours.

Holy Schnikes! A lot of folks hitting cab with camper!

Curious, did any of you also ding a rear bumper when you pulled a tongue pull trailer of any type?
