• Smoother Towing Every Mile with HD Air Ride: The built-in heavy-duty air spring and dual urethane bump cushions absorb road shock, bouncing, bumps, bangs, tugs, and jerks for a smoother ride in your tow vehicle and trailer. The HD air ride system also helps reduce trailer sway by absorbing changing tongue loads on uneven roads. Built for years of heavy-duty towing.
• 20,000-lb Rated Hitch Base Assembly: The HD Air Receiver Hitch base assembly is rated for up to 20,000 lbs towing capacity and 2,000 lbs tongue weight. Your selected ball mount, hitch ball, or attachment may have a lower rating. Never exceed the lowest applicable rating of your towing setup, including the vehicle, receiver, hitch assembly, attachment, ball, and trailer.
• Build Your Own Hitch—What’s Included: Includes the HD Max Black Super Drop Air Receiver Hitch base assembly, three hitch pins with retaining clips—two to secure the attachment and one to secure the hitch in your truck’s receiver—and the ball mount or attachment selected.
• Choose Your Mount & Drop/Rise: Choose combo-ball, drop-ball, raised-ball, sway-control-tab, pintle, pintle-with-ball, drawbar, cushioned-drawbar, or clevis attachments. Adjustment range depends on your selection, with up to 12.5″ of drop with the drop-ball mount. Choose No Ball Mount if you already have a compatible attachment or plan to purchase one separately. See the Drop/Rise Guide for attachment ranges and ratings, or explore ball mount attachments↗.
• No Ball Mount Option: Includes the air hitch base assembly and all three hitch pins with clips, without a ball mount or towing attachment. Select this option if you already have a compatible attachment or plan to purchase one separately. A compatible, properly rated attachment is required for towing.
• Heavy-Duty Super Drop Construction with 12 Adjustment Holes: Thick 3/8-inch carbon-steel side plates and a heavy-duty top plate support the adjustable attachment system. The Max Black textured matte powder-coat finish helps protect the steel.
• Saves Money & Adds Life to Vehicle & Trailer By Reducing Damage & Breakage: By adding life to the truck & trailer along with 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.
• Great for Taller than Stock or Lifted Pickup Trucks: Designed for lifted and taller-than-stock full-size pickup trucks. Allow at least 22″ from the ground to the bottom of the truck receiver tube. Popular installs include GMC Sierra, Chevy Silverado, Dodge Ram, Ford F150, F250, F350, F450, F550 Super Duty, or Toyota Tundra.
• Fine-Tune Your Towing – Easily Adjustable for Tow Weight: Adjust air pressure to suit the weight of your trailer and its contents. Watch the Air Pressure Setup Video for heavier loads, or reduce air as needed to fine-tune ride and load control.
• Improves Safety & Control: Helps improve control of your tow vehicle & trailer. The super drop air bag receiver hitch system allows for better control and handling of your pickup and the trailer it is towing. The pivoting design filters and directs the road shock through the air ride system & urethane cushions with the greaseable 1″ diameter 1045 carbon steel pivot bolt. Uses a rocker arm pivot design which produces a down & back motion, much different than other air hitches on the market. Our design eliminates the need for slides, parallel linkages, rollers, shock absorbers, or multiple airbags.
• 2 Hole Receiver Shank: Available for 2″ or 2.5″ receiver hitch tubes with two hitch pin holes for length adjustability.
• Matte Black Finish: Impact-resistant Max Black™ textured matte black Premium powder-coat finish on hitch.
• Pintle & Ball Towing Ratings: Complete SH-334 attachment ratings: pintle mode, 16,000 lb GTW; 2″ ball mode (SH-334-2), 12,000 lb GTW; 2-5/16″ ball mode (SH-334-25), 16,000 lb GTW. Maximum attachment TW is 3,000 lb in each mode. Follow the selected hitch base rating; other attachment options have their own limits.
