PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The Shocker Gooseneck Surge® air hitch & coupler is the ultimate in gooseneck horse trailer towing for your Bison coach gooseneck horse trailer. Featuring the patented 30K Shift Lock® gooseneck air coupler for a 2-5/16" hitch ball or a Demco auto latching gooseneck coupler for a 2-5/16" hitch ball. Both couplers are also available in a 9" offset extender coupler for people who are towing their gooseneck trailer with a short bed truck for extra cab clearance. This air ride gooseneck coupler fits the Bison coach gooseneck horse trailers with a 4" round stem. The built in air ride system absorbs the road shock, bumps, jerks, tugs, and bangs through the proven surge hitch system, creating a smoother, safer towing experience for you, your pickup, your trailer & the contents. A Bison gooseneck trailer is a premium trailer and needs a premium shock absorbing hitch & coupler. The Gooseneck Surge air hitch & coupler is the only air ride hitch to exclusively work in a forward and back motion, which is often times the biggest jerk & tug you feel when towing gooseneck trailers. The shock absorbing hitch for a Bison gooseneck horse trailer is made for smooth and safe towing on your pickup, trailer, and horses. Completely replaces your factory stem & coupler with the Gooseneck Surge Air system & coupler. Watch Installation Video Manufactured by Shocker Hitch®
Note: Bison gooseneck trailers have round stems that are 4" with angled pin holes. We also have the new patent pending multi-fit stem options. The Gooseneck surge air hitch attaches easily to those stems. Replacement stem has 3 adjustment holes and the coupler extends 3" forward from factory location or you can also order it 9" forward for short-bed pickup trucks.
Adds life to your pickup & gooseneck trailer by reducing wear and tear on driveline and frame! Treat yourself, your equipment, and your passengers to a much smoother ride. You’ll never go back to the ‘old days’ of continual bumps, jerks, and vibrations. Join the list of satisfied customers who are using Shocker hitches.

Yes - this is exactly what that hitch is designed to do. The **Shocker Air Ride for Bison Coach Gooseneck Trailer** replaces the hard gooseneck connection with a built-in air spring bag and dual bump cushions that absorb the jerking, tugging, chucking, and bumps between your F450 and the trailer. The rocker-arm pivot works in a forward-and-back motion, which is the biggest jolt you feel with a gooseneck - so the shock that would normally transmit straight back into the trailer is filtered out before it reaches the horses. 🐴 Our descriptions and reviews specifically call out that horses and livestock experience *less stress* while being towed, and Bison horse trailer owners report the "thrusting" being virtually eliminated. You also tune the air pressure to your loaded weight for the best ride. Two coupler options are available, both rated 30,000 lb GTW: - **2-5/16" Demco Coupler** (auto-latching) - **2-5/16" Shift Lock Coupler** (dual-latching, captures the ball on both sides)

CUSTOMER REVIEWS
I installed this shocker hitch on my 2023 bison horse trailer with living quarters. Prior to installation my truck was all over the road thrusting horribly front of To back after installing it and setting it to 15 psi, it virtually eliminated all thrusting.. I simply am amazed and highly recommend this product to anybody who's towing any type of weight behind your half ton or three-quarter ton truck.
It works as advertised! Very impressive. I'm pulling a 28 ft 3 horse with living quarters using a Chevy 2500. Was about to buy another dually until I tried this hitch.
We pull a large LQ with a 12' superslide. Even with our dually it bucked and lurched on bad roads and they are all bad out here! I was skeptical about the Shocker but with the 30 day trial and free return shipping, I was willing to try it. We headed out on the rodeo trail from SW Montana to Northern Canada to the Saskatchewan border and back to Dillon. Nearly 2,000 miles was all the proof I needed! The Shocker is staying on my trailer. Now, it's not a $12 air ride system, but it's dang good for $990. And it was super easy to install. My hubs and I did it by ourselves... and we're both long in the tooth. If you're thinking about it, try it. You won't regret it.
So far so good!! I have taken just one little test run since installing the Shocker gooseneck hitch on our Bison Premiere LQ horse trailer. Huge improvement in the ride with 20 psi. My trailer weighs about 15k with 4.5-5.5 k on the hitch. Looking forward to our trip to Montana later this summer and fine tuning for the ultimate ride. 😀
First trip with Shockerhitch on old bumpy state highway. The hitch made for a smooth ride instead of being beat to death.
