I am considering installing a cushioned gooseneck coupler on my livestock trailer. These devices are advertised to make the ride alot smoother which would be a great advantage on long trips. These devices can be quite expensive and I'd like to get some real world input before I spend that kind of money only to find out that the difference is minimal.

Does anyone have experience with these devices (good or bad)?
Do they work?
Is the difference in the ride significant?

Below are some links to the devices I'm looking at:

That second one, the Cody looks to operate in a similar fashion as the Trailair pin box on a 5er. If it works half as well as the Trailair it would be worth it.

 

Thanks for the info. I'm not familiar with the Trailair pin box but I'll do a little research to compare the two devices.
