I have towed multiple states with the shocker systems. It stopped all the harsh bouncing and improved the ride with heavy loads. Winter road driving has become a lot safer because the trailer tracks right behind you. Improved tire life, No fidgeting around at any speed. Do not be worried about adjusting the air bag it’s very simple process. We use a Milwaukee portable 12volt air compressor to adjust air pressure. We have two different ball set ups pre-mounted on the support bracket, pull two pins adjust height of bracket ready to go one 2” 16,000 and one 2 5/16” 30,000
