California Residents: Prop 65 Warning
First of all, the help from the sales department has been fantastic! Thank you so much for the help. My wife hasn’t taken the trailer on the highway yet, but the day we installed it we took it for a three mile ride. My wife said that she could tell the difference immediately. Much smoother ride. The best birthday gift she’s received in many years. Thanks again to the family at Shocker Hitches. God bless
Excellent product. Our truck pulls the horse trailer smoother.
The best hitch money can buy. The difference in ride when installed is unbelievable.
Shocker hitches do exactly as advertised. It makes a huge difference in the ride of my truck, especially when crossing bridges on the interstate. You don’t feel the bad jolt as you start across and leave the bridge. I only use 27lbs of air pressure towing a 15000lb horse trailer with living quarters. Highly recommended and worth every penny
This hitch makes a huge difference when stopping , starting, slowing down, and speeding up. I love that it makes for a quieter ride for my horse!
Most important is the cab clearance it gives me.which would have saved me nearly $4,000 of damaged caused the week prior to installation of the hitch, from not being able to have proper turning radius clearance.
Installation was a breeze. I’m sixty years old and adjusted the height by my self. I have a 42 foot horse trailer with living quarters and am going to start my starting air pressure at 20 psi. Haven’t pulled yet, but will next week. If I’m able to update I will… all greased and ready to go.
Pulling a 40 ‘gooseneck living quarters horse trailer with 3 horses is a job for my 1 ton. Then you add in the jerk and bounce going down these interstate roads….
I should have bought this product a few years ago!!! Great investment for my truck, trailer and me…don’t leave home without it..
583 miles and so far it is a great addition. Ride is so much better on rough roads, it save our truck and trailer from damage due to bad interstate roads. Thank you.
