Question:

I just bought a horse trailer with a gross weight capacity of 10000lbs. The manufacture said I should look at hitches 1200 if not 1500lbs tongue weight. I was wondering which one of these would be the best to absorb any shocks from bumpy roads to make the ride as smooth as possible: SHK34RR C83WR SHK29VR Thanks so much for your time.

Expert Reply:

The Shocker Hitch Air Cushioned Ball Mount # SHK29VR is going to provide you with the best ride quality. It has a shock absorbing cushion like both the Shocker Hitch XRC # SHK34RR and Curt Rebellion XD # C83WR. But you also get the added benefit of the air shock that will allow you to adjust the air pressure. By adjusting the air pressure it allows you to dial in your ride quality for your specific weight range.

If you truck has a 2-1/2" receiver you will need the Shocker # SHK77VR.
