First fifth wheel had no shocks. Second one had shocks, were at such angle that they possibly could not work, they eventually bent. Present trailer has shocks. Couldnt tell the difference in any of e'm.
I would expect that you'd notice less of a difference in a FW. because the pin doesn't move up and down like the tongue of a TT can. May depend on where you tow and how you tow. I know that the rear of our TT used to bob up and down like crazy and now it's rides very level in comparison. The handling is way better on twisty and bumpy roads and less vertical motion is transferred onto the hitch ball making for a smoother ride in the truck. A few factors will affect the improvement shocks make - trailer GW, spring rating, overall length, TV rating, etc.
