California Residents: Prop 65 Warning
I have been hauling a double car trailer to racetracks for a few years with a 3/4 ton Yukon and simple distribution hitch. We had a bit of a sway issue that I thought this might fix, then decided to add the airbag set up. In short is works very very well! Truck ride is much smoother and the sway is gone.
Don’t write reviews. This is one of the best things for trailer pulling. Hardly any transfer of bumps from truck to trailer. Rides like nothing is behind you.
