California Residents: Prop 65 Warning
Lightning-fast shipping! Excellent packaging–the hitch arrived in perfect condition. The build quality of the hitch is impressive–obviously well made. My first trip of 500+ miles was interesting. The Shocker hitch replaced an Equal-I-Zer weight distribution hitch and I immediately noticed the lack of sway control…but it never became a problem during the trip. I had the option of adding the Shocker sway control but I’m not sure it’s necessary. I had also added AirLift 5000 air springs to the rear axle of my truck at the same time and I think the AirLift/Shocker combo is a winner; the ride is definitely improved. I know there was a lot less stress on the driver (me) and probably less stress on the trailer frame and truck hitch as well. Thanks to Logan for helping me walk thru the hitch selection process, reaching out to me as soon as he had the right one in stock, and getting it to me ASAP. This was a good choice and I recommend it highly. Tow vehicle; 2017 Ford F250 6.2l gas (about 8,300 lbs loaded). Trailer; 2024 Bigfoot 25RQS (7,500 lbs)
I used the shocker hitch to pull my 24′ pontoon with my F150 from MN to FL. The hitch was amazing and removed all the bounce/hop from the freeway. It made the across country tow easy, it is well worth the money.
Great product and even better customer service!
