I have to agree with a previous post that the air pin boxes are best for vertical force damping. The moveable arms sit horizontal and look like they would transmit fore/aft chucking forces directly to your hitch.

An air hitch or pin box will only serve to reduce the forces being generated by the trailer. The truck ride will still be there. The air hitch or pin box will serve to reduce bump energy from your truck being transmitted to the trailer.
