- Saves Money & Adds Life to Vehicle & Trailer: By reducing trailer breakage on both the trailer and the trailer contents! The Shocker hitch absorbs the damaging forces experienced with a typical hard connection. This greatly reduces the chances of breaking welds and doing other long term damage to your equipment as well as the valuable cargo you have inside the truck and trailer.
- Shock Dampening Action: Shocker air hitch effectively absorbs the jerking, tugging and damaging forces experienced with a typical hard connection when towing trailers. There is no reason to beat yourself or your equipment up with a hard connection between your trailer and your receiver hitch.
- Improves Safety: By giving you improved control of your tow vehicle and trailer. The air bag receiver hitch system allows for better control of your pickup and the trailer it is towing.
- Safety Notice: The Shocker Hitch is a heavy duty unit that in most cases exceeds factory towing weight capacities, therefore it is imperative that you always read and follow the tongue and towing weight recommendations of the truck that is mounted on, hitch & ball rating, the trailer coupler rating and the ratings of the trailer you are towing.

California Residents: Prop 65 Warning
Have only taken it out on a test ride but performance is way better then expected. Build quality is outstanding.
30 foot travel trailer with 2021 Chevy Silverado Custom Trail Boss 1500 2 1/2 hr ride was really nice .
Looks to be an excellent product has not been field tested yes
Night and day difference towing my 24′ enclosed trailer. My trailer had a terrible sway issue with standard hitch, I installed/tested this shocker setup in sustained 25+ mph winds, and in my opinion it took out atleast 90% of the sway. Would definitely recommend!
Love my hitch. I use it everyday!!
This is the best hitch I have used. No more bouncing on the back of the truck. Nice and smooth thanks
