California Residents: Prop 65 Warning
Phenomenal! Purchased a Shocker 12k for pulling my boat and it has made beyond a world of difference. The trailering of the boat is now much much smoother. Big bumps that were once dreaded now sometimes are barely felt. The Shocker hitch has made pulling the boat more relaxing and much less stressful.
