Do Curt Rockerballs of Different Weight Capacities Have Similar or Different Dampening

Updated 05/10/2021 | Published 05/08/2021

Question:

Comparing this model that’s rated for 3,500 lbs to the model rated for 7,500 lbs C40047 that has a 1” shank, is the shock dampening the same for both models or is the C40047 stiffer? I am considering for a light trailer that I pull down rough roads and would like to have the 1” shank model if they will dampen the same. Thanks.

The dampening is different between the higher and lower rated Curt RockerBalls. Based on your trailer being lighter I'd recommend the part # C94CR that you mentioned even though the roads you plan to travel on are rougher. This will give you the smoother ride quality over the higher rated option.
