The 5th Airborne and Sidewinder combo, # RP61422, does reduce chucking up to 60 percent and vertical up and down shock by up to 44 percent according to tests performed by the manufacturer. The 5th Airborne part has a shock and airbag inside that reduce the vertical and horizontal movement. And with the Sidewinder you still get the 22 inches of extension. I have included a link to our FAQ article on the 5th Airborne units for you.
