    Shocker Air Bumper Hitch Installation Instructions

    The Shocker Air Bag Hitch ball mount is easy to install.  It comes complete with easy-to-understand instructions along with everything you need.  You can download the installation instructions or view the video below and learn How much PSI for my Shocker Air Bumper Hitch?

    Shocker Air Receiver Hitch Installation: First you must let all the air out of the air bag. Do this by depressing the air tank valve located on the left side of the frame and pushing down on paddle above the air spring bag. Once all the air has been let out of the air ride system, you can install the unit into the receiver tube. Next, install the hitch pin.

    To Set Air: Hook up a trailer using a properly selected ball mount attachment and height adjustment in order to a level trailer when loaded. Next, inflate the air ride system. As air pressure increases, the unit will rotate lifting the hitch up. Add air pressure until the top of the hitch frame touches the (tailgate side) top bump cushion. Add enough air pressure to lightly compress top bump cushion or until top (tailgate side) bump cushion is compressed is approximately 1/8″.  If the weight of your trailer changes or there is a huge temperature, you may need to add or reduce air pressure.

    Additional Set Up Notes:

    • When towing heavy trailers or trailers with high wind resistance it may be necessary to increase air pressure in the Shocker.
    • Spacer block included in the 2″ & 2-1/2″ hitches and may be required (see spacer block install in instructions below)
    • It is highly recommended that the hitch ball be greased to reduce wear and improve shocker action.
    • DO NOT TIGHTEN THE TOP BOLT, IT IS A LIMITER STOP ONLY & Set at the Factory. Safety Notice: Towing capacity is limited by lowest rated component.

    Maximum Air Pressure: Do not exceed 100 psi in the air bag, as it may damage the air bag.

    Will the Shocker Air Bumper Hitch work with Equalizer or Weight-Distribution?  If you have an equalizer or weight distribution hitch then it will not. However, check out our Shocker Air Equalizer for weight distribution hitches. If you are just using friction sway bars that hook to a mini ball (such as the shocker sway control arm bar kit), then yes, if you also have one of our sway bar tab mounts such as the combo sway control ball mount attachment.
