California Residents: Prop 65 Warning
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.
