The Shocker Air Hitch and Combination Pintle Hook with Ball Mount offers a versatile towing solution for those needing to pull multiple types of trailers. This air ride towing hitch comes with an 8-ton combination pintle hook mount and a choice of either a 2″ or 2-5/16″ forged hitch ball, providing easy transitions between different trailer types. Whether you’re towing a trailer with a ball coupler or a pintle ring, the combo design allows you to switch between the two in seconds, saving you time and effort. The hitch also features 8 adjustable height holes, ranging from 3″ drop to 7″ drop, ensuring a customized fit for various towing setups.
One of the standout features of the Shocker Air Pintle Receiver Hitch is its built-in air suspension system, which enhances the towing experience by minimizing road shocks, bumps, and impacts. This system acts as a miniature air suspension unit mounted between your truck and trailer, helping to absorb the harsh impacts that often come with towing heavy loads. The result is a smoother, more comfortable ride for both the towing vehicle and the trailer, reducing wear and tear on both.
The hitch is designed for compatibility with 6″ OD x 3″ ID pintle rings, making it ideal for a wide range of trailers, including military-style hitches. It fits into a standard receiver tube and works well with pickup trucks, vans, and select SUVs with a receiver tube below the bumper. In addition to its air ride benefits, the Shocker Air Hitch allows you to adjust the air pressure for optimal ride quality and load control, reducing slop and enhancing towing stability. This feature ensures a controlled, smooth towing experience, especially when handling heavy or uneven loads.
With towing capacities of 12,000 lbs and a 1,200 lbs tongue weight ratings, the Shocker Air Pintle Hitch is ideal for demanding applications such as farm trailers, contractor trailers, equipment trailers, and off-road trailers. This military-style air ride hitch is particularly useful for lowering trailers with pintle rings, and its adjustable design ensures a precise fit for various towing requirements. Compatible with standard 2″ and 2-1/2″receiver tubes, the Shocker Air provides both versatility and durability for all your towing needs.
