The EZ Flex do eliminate any road shock that previously was felt through the trailer hitch. It wasn't uncomfortable before, but it's gone now. The main reason I did it was for washboard roads, which would make screws back out all over the trailer. It fixed that problem. More important, my stock spring shackles were worn to the point only 1/8" of material was left. It was ready to fail at any moment. The EZ Flex hardware is simple better.
My trailer came with shocks from the factory. Shocks don't make a ride "smoother". They dampen rebound, or bounce. They work for that. It's part of the off-road package that Northwoods includes on all their chassis, including ORV trailers.
So for me, I won't own another trailer without both.
The shock kit was next for me, but we decided to trade our TT in and get the MH. I didn't feel like I needed the shocks, it was just an upgrade I wanted to do. I had the EX Flex and wetbolts for approx 9 years. The Dexter stuff was worlds better in quality than the garbage the frame manuf installed.
