    I just bought the shocker hitch for my F350 to pull our 6500LB (dry) camper. This thing is awesome. I almost forget my camper is behind us on the highway. You are correct about the weight distribution hitch also. I don't use one as my truck swayed way worse with it.

    How did your old hitch work with the 3/4ton? I have a 2018 ram 2500 and want a smoother ride. I'm considering the shocker hitches but no sure which way to go. Another WDH, or just the style you have with anti sway.

  • @TheLongLife
    @TheLongLife3 ай бұрын

    So depends, does your truck squat a ton??? If it squats really bad with the trailer I would go with the WDH... If it doesn't, I would go the normal shocker with the anti sway. I tried both and there is a HUGE difference between rides. Both smooth but it's night and day difference between the WDH and the normal. If you need the WDH to level your truck out go that route. I didn't need to because we had a dually at the time. Now we have a Ford Powerstroke, I added rear air bags to level the truck and it rides so nice between the air bags and the shocker hitch. Safe travels 😎

    @@TheLongLife we currently have a Fastway E2 WDH but I hate all the chucking and bucking. The truck doesn't squat a ton tho before I put on the anti sway bars. I like the idea of that shocker 8" drop with the anti sway tabs and friction bars. We may get a larger travel trailer so I could just add a 2nd bar if it's over 10k pounds. We just got our trailer last year. It's a 2024 Bullet 287RLS and has a 8800lb GVWR. My truck has 3000lb payload capacity so it rides pretty rough and doesn't squat a ton with the trailer, but it already has the WDH ball on it.

    Beautiful trailer! The weird thing is you appeared to be adjusting the adjuster wrong (loosening) but it clearly worked. I've adjusted more drum brakes than I could count in my 74 years and all of them were tightened by engaging the adjusting wheel at the bottom and prying up. You pried from the top down.
