- Optimized Your Towing – It’s Easily Adjustable for Tow Weight: Fine-tune for your towing weight. Watch the Air Pressure Setup Video for heavier loads and reduce air pressure for lighter loads.
- Shock Dampening Action: Effectively absorbs the jerking, tugging, and damaging forces experienced with a typical hard connection when towing trailers. There is no reason to beat yourself or your equipment up with a hard connection between your trailer and your receiver hitch.
- Saves Money & Reduces Damage to Trailer & Cargo: By reducing trailer breakage on both the trailer & contents. The Shocker hitch absorbs the damaging forces experienced with a typical hard connection. This greatly reduces the chances of breaking welds & doing other long-term damage to your equipment & valuable cargo.
- Improves Safety & Provides Comfort: By giving you improved control of your tow vehicle and trailer. The air ride receiver hitch system allows for better control of your pickup and the trailer it is towing. It’s easier on you, your passengers, animals, cargo, and equipment.
- Industry-Leading Rocker Pivot Design: Our shock-dampening rocker arm pivot design allows for a down & back motion that filters the road shock into the integrated air ride system with dual bump cushions. Filters the road shock through the air spring bag & urethane cushions with the greaseable 1″ diameter 1045 carbon steel pivot bolt. The 1″ diameter pivot bolt allows for this pivoting rocker motion to happen smoothly.

How the Air Ride System Cushions Your Tow
The Streamline Aluminum hitch routes towing forces through its air spring and pivoting assembly, cushioning the connection between your tow vehicle and trailer. As tongue loads change over uneven pavement, the air spring absorbs movement while the dual urethane bump cushions provide additional cushioning on rough roads. Adjusting air pressure for your loaded trailer helps the system work properly as your towing load changes.
