Smile Shocker Hitch

We have just purchased a Shocker Hitch. Haven't received it yet, but would like to know any info, comments, etc. anyone has on this hitch. It has one Firestone airbag but it's mechanics are different that Air Ride brand.

Thanks in advance for your help.

'wired....

it doesn't look like this product can be used with any common weight distribution system...

did you check on this issue with the vendor?

while the hitch is rated adequately for your trailer..

the tv receiver is NOT rated for the 900-1000 lbs+ tongue load withOUT w/d gear...

while in principle it appears to have a 'rubber bushing' that helps with w/d, that function looks iffy to me.

and the 'teeter' effect would seem to cause a constantly changing w/d pattern.

let us know how it affects axle load measurements and basic w/d...

can u mount a simple friction arm or 2, for sway reduction?

cheers
2air'
