I've seen some guys hang a piece of chain from the trailer hitch just long enough to touch the ground. Wonder if that would cure the static shock problem?

Those are *****. Pretty awful.

Keep your hand on the metal of the door while you step out. You won't get any more shocks.

as a firefighter I recommend NOT doing this. Chain drags ground and starts fires.
