Additionally, the dual bump cushions mitigate the impact of road imperfections, enhancing performance.
You can easily fine-tune the air pressure to match the weight of your trailer. This shock-absorbing air ride hitch simply slides into a standard receiver tube, efficiently absorbing the jerks and pulls that come with traditional towing connections.

This air hitch provides cushioning for you, your trailer, and its contents, making it ideal for all-around bumper hitch towing. Proudly made by Shocker Hitch® USA in Jamestown, ND.
The 12K air ride system is positioned under the receiver tube, providing a compact 10-inch distance between the mounting pin and the ball center. One of the key advantages of the 12K Air Shocker is the ability to adjust air pressure for optimal ride comfort and load control. Its drop range is particularly suitable for pickups that are higher than stock. It fits standard 2″, 2-1/2″, and 3″ receiver tubes, making it perfect for heavy-duty towing. This hitch is great for contractors, motorhomes, horse trailers, large boats, tilt trailers, skid steer trailers, race trailers, and more.
