What Exactly Does A Shocker Air Receiver Hitch Do? How Does a Shocker Air Receiver Work?

A Shocker Air Receiver Hitch absorbs the road shock, bumps, bangs, jerks, tugs & sways by filtering them through a built in air ride system.

What makes a Shocker air receiver hitch smoother for towing is that they absorb the bumps, bangs, jerks, and tugs that you normally experience when towing with a hard connection between the tow vehicle and trailer.

When you hit a bump, you’re you’re changing the weight load placement. If you hit a bump, it’s going to put a lot of weight on the receiver hitch, which is going to take some weight off of the front tires, which then reduces your steering and braking.

And then when the weight comes back, it’s going to lift the weight off the receiver and put weight on the rear trailer tires, which is what creates sway. An air ride receiver hitch is it absorbs this. So an air ride hitch naturally reduces the chances of trailer sway in addition to absorbing the bumps and jerks and tugs, making it easier and less stressful on you, your passengers, animals, truck, trailer, equipment and cargo. Plus it reduces wear and tear on equipment.

When towing with a normal hard connection, every dip, bridge joint, pothole, expansion joint or rough rough service creates force and weight transfer between the tow vehicle and trailer. That is constantly shifting and bouncing is really transferring more tongue weight to the receiver hitch and off of the front tow vehicle tires, then when it comes back, it is transferring the weight off the receiver and onto the rear trailer tires. The rougher the road or pot hole, the worse it is when towing with a hard rigid connection between the tow vehicle and trailer. An air hitch acts like a absorption device to substantially reduces and minimize this.

How a Shocker Air Receiver Hitch works is it has a 1″ diameter heat-treated greaseable pivot bolt that is integrated with the hitch, receiver shank, adjustable air spring bag and paddle. It is adjustable, so you can fine tune the air pressure for your trailers specific tongue weight. The mount that is attaches to the Shocker Hitch rotates on the pivot bolt and into the air spring bag and dual bump cushions. This action filters and dampens the road shock and weight being transferred from bumps when towing a trailer. An air spring bag is the best cushioning device on the planet. This creates a safer smoother towing experience & reduces damage on pickup & trailer. Its easier and less stressful on you, your passengers, animals and equipment.

This is because the air ride system is softening and dampening the stress and weight transfer that is created by bumps and uneven roads when a vehicle is towing a trailer on pavement, gravel or rough roads.
