Our design eliminates the need for slides, parallel linkages, rollers, shock absorbers, or multiple airbags.

How the Air Ride System Cushions Your Tow
The Original 7-hole 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.
