Location: shortsville, ny | Hi, I have a Silverado 1500 and a 3 horse gooseneck (yeah I know it would be nice if truck was larger). Problem is jerky ride. I have search internet and find myriad of reason for this. I also have found several hitch upgrades Star Performance, Popup LLC2, Shocker Hitch, etc. Question is what to buy if any? Prices start at $500 and go up! Don't want to spend that knind of money and find no benefits!! can anyone advise? Thanks |

Location: Topeka Ks | I have concluded the jerk I experience is spring wrap. I installed Air Lift air bags and it made some improvement. I also use a Cody Cushion manufactured by Cody Hitch. It has helped relieve more of the bounce. There are road condition where I still get the bounce. Jg |

Location: shortsville, ny | If road is smooth and you maintain speed ride is smooth. If you encounter bumps you can feel truck jerk 3-4 times before it settles back down. Sometimes also get that jerk when starting up from stop. One response suggested raising hitch 2 inches. I will try that, but if I need to buy some kind of shock absorbing hitch I would like to hear what works best. My horse deserves as smooth a ride as economically possible. She's a good girl!!! |
