California Residents: Prop 65 Warning
It works as advertised! Very impressive. I’m pulling a 28 ft 3 horse with living quarters using a Chevy 2500. Was about to buy another dually until I tried this hitch.
We pull a large LQ with a 12′ superslide. Even with our dually it bucked and lurched on bad roads and they are all bad out here! I was skeptical about the Shocker but with the 30 day trial and free return shipping, I was willing to try it. We headed out on the rodeo trail from SW Montana to Northern Canada to the Saskatchewan border and back to Dillon. Nearly 2,000 miles was all the proof I needed! The Shocker is staying on my trailer. Now, it’s not a $12 air ride system, but it’s dang good for $990. And it was super easy to install. My hubs and I did it by ourselves… and we’re both long in the tooth. If you’re thinking about it, try it. You won’t regret it.
So far so good!! I have taken just one little test run since installing the Shocker gooseneck hitch on our Bison Premiere LQ horse trailer. Huge improvement in the ride with 20 psi. My trailer weighs about 15k with 4.5-5.5 k on the hitch. Looking forward to our trip to Montana later this summer and fine tuning for the ultimate ride. 😀
First trip with Shockerhitch on old bumpy state highway. The hitch made for a smooth ride instead of being beat to death.
