Note: Safety chains are required for gooseneck trailer towing. Make sure chains are Grade 70 transport NACM V-19 rated. For gooseneck towing, the safety chain should be properly attached to the gooseneck pin box and the anchors in the truck bed should typically be positioned slightly behind and to both sides of the gooseneck ball (towards the trailer). Best location is slightly rearward of the ball centerline on the left and right of the ball between 6 to 12″ apart from the ball laterally. This allows for good chain angle, proper articulation, reduces interference with the gooseneck coupler and less chain binding when turning. They should Not be directly inline with the gooseneck ball and should never be attached forward of the gooseneck ball. It is not safe and also dangerous to attach the chains in the bed between the gooseneck ball and the cab of the pickup truck. For OEM puck systems, use the anchors between the ball and the tailgate.

Gooseneck Pin Box Installation for SH-RVGC-4405, SH-RVGC-4410 or SH-RVGC-4415: On a level surface, take a measurement of your vehicle’s bed floor to the ground and make note. This will be applied to the Shocker Quick Air Gooseneck Surge system. You will want to take the measurement noted and match it to the bottom of the Gooseneck Surge coupler for optimal operating height. Unbolt your existing 5th wheel pin box with a 15/16″ wrench and impact with a 15/16″ socket from your camper trailer and any brake cables. With assistance, remove your 5th wheel pin box and set it aside and/or put it away in storage. With assistance, slide the Quick Air gooseneck pin box in between the camper trailer’s pin box brackets. Once lined up in the correct adjustment holes of the brackets, use the previous pin box’s hardware to install the Quick Air pin box. Before sliding the Quick Air gooseneck pin box in place, it is recommended to use spray grease/lubricant on the pin box brackets to assist installation. NOTES: Some applications may require spacers for the Quick Air pin box to fit properly. Torque to 120 FT pounds. Please note that some pin box frames may require a different torque, refer to the manufacturer’s recommendations. IMPORTANT: DO NOT overtighten the pin box bolts as this can lead to premature wear and possible failure in the gooseneck pin box. It is highly recommended to use additional washers on the backside of the pin box bolts.

Gooseneck Air Hitch Air Pressure Settings
Initially set air pressure to around 15 PSI. Test drive and adjust air pressure in 5 PSI increments until optimum results are found. Decreasing or increasing air pressure may be needed for best ride and load control. When towing in high winds, it may be necessary to increase the air ride system air pressure. IMPORTANT: NEVER exceed 100 PSI in the air spring bag. This may lead to a stiffer ride and damage the air spring bag itself. Typical air pressure range is 15-25 PSI
Maintenance:
Regularly grease the inside of the coupler or the gooseneck trailer ball.
Grease main pivot grease zerk regularly for maximum performance & pivot bolt & pivot bolt bushings lift located on the front of the hitch above the coupler. You can’t over grease it.
If the top bump stop cushions become worn or look mashed, replace them. Replacement part # SH-970.
For the Shift lock gooseneck coupler, grease or oil the u-bolt regularly.
To adjust trailer ride height simply loosen the 1⁄2″ x 1″ set bolt with jam in the front of the gooseneck pin box down tube. Remove the 3/4″ x 5″ safety through pin with clip. Move Shocker Gooseneck Surge hitch to desired position, reinstall safety through pin with clip and tighten set bolt and jam nut.

I have a 2019 Lakota Horse Trailer with 16' short wall living quarters. Gross trailer weight is about 16,000 lbs. I have installed a B&W 10" "extend a goose" with "4" sleave in my trailer hitch. Assume your 9" offset hitch will work as well?? Would I put about 15lbs of air in the air bag on your hitch based on my trailer weight??

Hello Deb, Yes our 9" offset will work with our set up and help provide clearance between your trailer and pick up. With the air pressure it is kind of a trial and error until you find the "sweet spot" on air pressure. We do suggest starting at 15 psi and working your way up in 5 lb incriminates. If you have any more questions feel free to contact us at 701-707-2666.
