California Residents: Prop 65 Warning
Great product. Took the bounce out of our 5 horse living quarter trailer. Easy to order and arrived in 4 days. Took 4 to 5 minutes to install. Before installation you could feel every bump in the road while in the trailer, now it is a smooth ride.
Made my first trip with the new shocker hitch and it was very impressive smoother ride ! It absolutely took the buck out of my horse trailer. Really unbelievable!
