California Residents: Prop 65 Warning
The 40K Gooseneck Shocker Hitch exceeds expectations! Highly recommend!
I have had 2 trailers and both with Shocker Hitch. Just got my third trailer but it’s a 40k so I was bummed…never wanted s trailer without Shocker. Then…I just came across this exciting news and will be looking forward to the fall and adding my third Shocker Hitch. I’ve probably sold a dozen over the past year and everyone has loved them just as much. Too bad I don’t actually get the same or a commission! Lol I will also add, there is no place you will have a better customer service experience with!
