It sounds like you are trying to get the best hitch mounted suspension for your vehicle to not transfer the shock. The Gen-Y Glyder Shock Absorbing Ball Mount for 2" Hitches - 2" Drop, 3-1/2" Rise - 7K # 325-GH-12001 will absolutely work better for that based on design than the Curt RockerBall Anti-Rattle Towing Kit - 2" Ball - 8-1/4" Long Mount - 7,500 lbs # C63KR. Both will absorb some shock with the dampening technology.
