California Residents: Prop 65 Warning
Unbelievable, the vibration it takes out of the vehicle and trailer, which means the smoother ride.
Excellent product excellent service
We installed the Shocker hitch, drove from WI to Nebraska with an empty trailer. It was a smooth ride! It would have been a rough ride without it. We brought a tractor back and that was great too.
Instantly noticed the difference. Made towing more comfortable on some of the rough roads we traveled. Would recommend this to anyone.
Have bought three of your hitches for three different vehicles of my an I like very much two air one one regular one but need order fourth one 20k
The Shocker provides a cushion for the traditional rigid connection between truck and trailer. Smooths the bumps and vertical oscillation, especially when making transitions across overpasses. Seems well built and the ability to adjust the height to level a trailer is nice. It is HEAVY; don’t think you’re going to one-hand it in and out of your truck bed or tool box.
Extremely Heavy Duty!! Great product, well worth the money for a smooth comfortable tow!!
First of the year bought one for our gooseneck and last month ended up getting a bumper hitch to use on our 20′ 14k dual axle trailer. Before it about shook you out of the seat empty and even when loaded. Used it this past weekend for the first time with @ 27# air in it and wow, didn’t even know I was pulling a trailer. Had a 8′ snow-blower on it. Wife was impressed on on it even road, being she had experienced the old way a time or two before getting the shock hitch!
I’ve had the original i bought in 2015 and this one is even better couldn’t be happier
Love my new shocker air hitch, heavy duty and makes the ride way better !
good
