If you’re tired of feeling every bump and jerk when towing up to 8,000 lbs, the Shocker 8K Sport Air Drop Hitch is a game-changer. Instead of a rigid connection that beats up your truck and cargo, this hitch uses a built-in air ride system to absorb the shock of rough highways and gravel roads. It instantly smooths out your ride. Just adjust the air pressure to match your trailer’s weight, and you’ll have better control, less sway, and a much more comfortable time behind the wheel.
This specific setup features an adjustable drop ball mount providing a 4-1/2″ to 8-1/2″ drop, making it the perfect solution for lifted or taller than stock trucks. You can equip the drop mount with either a 2″ or 2-5/16″ hitch ball to fit your exact trailer. The air system sits neatly under the receiver tube, keeping the pivot point close to your bumper for precise handling. To handle the really nasty potholes and dips, it also includes dual bump cushions so you don’t have to worry about bottoming out on harsh terrain.
Installation couldn’t be easier. It simply slides directly into any standard 2″ receiver hitch on your pickup, van, or select SUVs with the receiver hitch under the bumper. There is really no reason to keep punishing yourself and your equipment with a traditional, jarring hard connection. Proudly manufactured right here in Jamestown, ND, the Shocker Sport gives you an affordable, durable, and genuinely better towing experience for wherever the road takes you.
