Product Description
- This is a refurbished or used like new hitch that was returned to factory for whatever reason. It may have dings and nicks in finish. Otherwise it is like a almost new hitch & works great.
- Smoother Safer Towing with Built-in Air Ride System: Air ride towing technology with a built-in air spring to cushion the ride & absorb the road shock. Add instant air ride to your pickup & trailer. Helps eliminate tugs, thumps, jerks & bumps felt when towing on rough roads or concrete highways. Get a way smoother towing experience. No more jarring every time you cross a section divider. Absorbs road shock, creates a smooth ride & naturally reduces the tendency to trailer sway. Dual urethane bump cushions offer maximum performance.
- Heavy Duty 5/16″ Thick Side Plates with 8 Adjustment Holes: 2″ of rise to 8-1/2″ of drop. Depends on mount chosen. See the drop & rise guide below. Adjustment for combo-ball mount is 0″ to 4-1/2″ drop. Perfect for heavy-duty trailer towing with a bumper hitch. Thick HD carbon steel side plates & top plate, heavy-duty air spring & dual bump cushions.
- Saves Money & Reduces Damage to Trailer & Cargo: By reducing trailer breakage on both the trailer & contents. The Shocker hitch absorbs the damaging forces experienced with a typical hard connection. This greatly reduces the chances of breaking welds & doing other long-term damage to your equipment & valuable cargo.
- Improves Safety & Provides Comfort: By giving you improved control of your tow vehicle and trailer. The air ride receiver hitch system allows for better control of your pickup and the trailer it is towing. It’s easier on you, your passengers, animals, cargo, and equipment.
- 14,000 lbs GTW Capacity: 14,000 lbs towing capacity & 1,400 lbs tongue weight. Fine-tune by adjusting the air. (can vary by mount)
- Optimized Your Towing – It’s Easily Adjustable for Tow Weight: Fine tune for your towing weight. Just add air for heavier loads and reduce air pressure for lighter loads.

Shocker Hitch air provides the ultimate smooth ride. This shocker absorbing hitch is a miniature air suspension unit mounted between your pickup truck and trailer that channels the road shock through the built in airbag. This shock absorbing ball mount takes the bumps, jerks, tugs and roughness out of trailer towing and cushions your ride and overall towing experience.

California Residents: Prop 65 Warning
I chose the “refurbished hitch” to save a little money. I received the hitch in great condition. Looks new! Not a scratch on it, even though FedEx beat the day lights out of the box the hitch was packed in. For the hitch, I tow a 22-foot pontoon boat on some of the roughest roads around (Arizona Highways) and this thing was great! It’s not like driving on a cloud but close to it, helped smooth out the potholes and bridge joints. I was concerned about getting one with the cost, but after my 1100-mile round trip, I very much feel it is worth the cost.
Awewome! Works as advertised and the customer rep was very knowledgeable and helped me chose the right setup for my towing needs.
Made my tongue pull tow better/smoother then my 5th wheel.
Well built with tight tolerances. I wouldn’t pull without it, I use my trailers 5 days a week. This is the best hitch available, it takes the bounce out of towing.
Wanted to offer positive experience with Gjordin in sales. Gjordin went above and beyond standard service level to offer us technical information, and outstanding pricing. Gjordin was polite, professional and returned a call as he promised.
Gjordin is a firm believer in the Shocker product he sells and is a asset to the staff at Shocker Hitch. I wanted to offer praise for outstanding work and wish customer support more like this with other products/ companies, if my hitch is half as good as the customer service, I’m in great shape! Look forward to trying the hitch on our new truck!
Kind Regards,
Dan Cordier
