California Residents: Prop 65 Warning
We’ve had quite a few hitches over the years, and with this particular setup – a Ram 3500 long bed and an Escape 24, I wouldn’t have thought such a relatively light trailer could cause an uncomfortable bouncing and porpoising over bumps. It is greatly improved over our 2500, so the truck suspension definitely made somewhat of a difference, but it still existed and it was still annoying. We adjusted our E2 weight distribution hitch, made it more and less stiff, and that seemed to help a little bit, but it was obvious what kind of damage that was likely, and would eventually, do to our trailer frame. So while cruising through Jamestown, ND, we stopped in to the factory, hoping to be able to just ask a few question and maybe find a nearby retailer for the product. To my surprise, they have an actual showroom and very, very helpful folks to chat with you, show you, ask all of your stupid questions, and even help you install a hitch if you pick one up! I went with the 20K, just because I’d rather buy this one time and never with I had more weight capacity. And after more than 1K miles, I can confidently say I wish I’d done this MUCH sooner. I was a little concerned about sway, though with the way we load the trailer, this is clearly not a concern. The ride quality is MAJORLY different now! All the little bumps and up/down motion that the trailer tongue wants to do, it’s allowed to do, just not sending that into the truck. We get maybe 4% of the previous bumps that we had previously, which are the larger dips, potholes, etc. but they’re also not porpoising us any longer because the energy is diffused into the bag. It took a second to figure out two things: adjusting the airbag properly, where the rubber bumper is just touching the metal plate (super easy), and that there was an extra spacer that I should have bolted on from the start for our truck that made the airbag ride just a little better (not too noticeable, but probably good for the long term). Otherwise, it’s just… perfect! I cannot believe I went so long without this. I wasn’t ready to believe the hype at first, but now I recommend it to everyone. And of course, nobody believes me and my hype. 😂 11/10 recommend. At least try it, these guys are confident in their product and there’s a great reason for it.
Unit works as advertised, I drive long distance at times and hate the jerk of a heavy load over cracks in the road( or culverts). I balance trailer tires to keep the shimmy out of the ride and the hitch takes care of the rest.
The hitch works as advertised
This hitch was delivered in 2 days from buying it. I highly recommend this company. I can’t wait to test it out next week on a trip to Yellowstone!
Very nice well built
I train retrievers for a living, part of my job is pulling a 10k trailer everyday. I love my new Shocker hitch. The shock will be looking in your rear view mirror and realizing you’re pulling a trailer.
The best way to review the Shocker Hitch is, I should have bought it much sooner.
Love it .. a must have if you pull trailers alot
