Our Equalizer system will work with trailer surge breaks as long as you are using a bar-style weight distribution hitch. It will not work with the chain-style weight distribution hitch.

Our Equalizer has a specific bolt pattern and will only work with our XR Shank. We do not have any further information if this will work with Gen Y.

SUVs have independent suspension in the rear tires, most pickups do not have that type of suspension. The problem with SUV suspension is the Shocker Hitch and suspension are working against each other try to "over correct" and may cause it to porpoise.

Unfortunately this is not setup for SUV style vehicles due to the independent suspension system.

Hi Eugene, yes this would work great with your set up. Really does a great job of absorbing the road shock and preventing sway. Plus helps distribute the weight evenly. You truck air bags are good, which on a side note, if you truck can handle the weight of the camper without squatting and remain level with your truck air bags, then you could look at getting our regular air ride receiver. The regular shocker air receiver hitch is more versatile if you don't need the weight distribution hitch.

Yes, you can back up a trailer with the Shocker Air Equalizer WD Hitch without touching or changing anything, as long as you're driving straight or making very gentle adjustments. The hitch's weight‑distribution system and built-in friction sway control are designed to stabilize your trailer and reduce sway while towing. These features work by limiting the pivoting between the truck and trailer, which is great for highway driving but restricts sharp articulation when reversing.
For tight backing maneuvers—like pulling into a campsite, driveway, or tight corner—the friction sway bar arms can put stress on the hitch or trailer frame if forced. In these situations, it's recommended to adjust, loosen, or temporarily disengage the sway bar arms. This allows the trailer to pivot more freely and reduces the risk of damage to the hitch components while still maintaining the stability benefits when you return to normal towing.
In short:
Straight-line backing → no changes needed.
Tight turns → adjust or loosen sway bars for safer maneuvering.
Once backing is complete → re-engage sway control for stable towing.
