Helps eliminate tugs, thumps, jerks & bumps felt when towing on rough roads or concrete highways. Built-in air ride technology for a smoother towing experience. No more jarring every time you cross a section divider.
- Improves Safety: By giving you improved control of your tow vehicle and trailer. The airbag receiver hitch system allows for better control of your pickup and the trailer it is towing.

Tow in style and get everything you need to haul multiple trailers with the Shocker Max Black 12K Air Hitch, featuring an adjustable combination pintle and ball mount.

The Shocker Air ride system is engineered to absorb the bumps, jolts, and vibrations that often come with towing, providing a smoother and safer towing experience. The hitch features eight adjustable height settings, ranging from a 3″ drop to a 7″ drop, allowing you to fine-tune the hitch to suit your needs. The pintle hook can be unbolted from the mounting plate and flipped for even more height adjustment options, ensuring compatibility with a wide variety of towing applications.
With a tow capacity of 12,000 lbs and a tongue weight rating of 1,200 lbs, the Shocker Max 12K Air Hitch delivers an exceptional towing experience for even the heaviest loads.

This military-style air ride hitch is particularly useful for low-pintle hitch trailers, providing extra cushioning to reduce the stress of heavy towing. The air ride system sits under the receiver tube, allowing a compact 10-inch distance between the mounting pin and ball center. The ability to adjust the air pressure gives you full control over the ride quality and load management. Its design minimizes slop while the built-in air spring bag smooths out your towing experience. The Shocker Max 12K fits standard 2″and 2-1/2″ receiver tubes, and it’s commonly used for farm applications, contractor trailers, and off-road towing. Proudly manufactured in the USA by Shocker Hitch® in Jamestown, ND, this hitch is built to last.
