As far as I can tell, the Toy-Tote's design is set to pivot on the bolt in one direction (up only) and is restricted from pivoting down with the stop. I wonder how much noise that system generates when it slams up against the stop since there isn't anything there to absorb the impact.
The Gabriel Hijackers have an air fitting on the shocks themselves but it's just an open hole. It requires a Shrader valve in a remote location connected with a small poly line to the shock in order fer the shock to retain the inflated air.
I haven't personally seen their Toy-Tote with the air shock setup in action but I would love to see how well it dampens (if any) any road oscillations transmitted to the tow vehicle at speed. I believe that my direction for dampening the trailer at the hitch should minimize the amount of oscillations tremendously.
