    Shocker Air Receiver Hitch Installation Instructions

    1. Compressing Air Spring (BEFORE INSTALLATION)

    Release Pressure: Use the provided cotter pin clip to push in on the valve core to release air pressure from the back.

    Compress: While releasing pressure, simultaneously push down on the air spring paddle or squeeze the plates together to exhaust the remaining air.

    2. Installing the Shocker Hitch into the Receiver

    Mounting: Slide the hitch shank fully into the receiver tube of your tow vehicle.

    Align and Secure: Align the pin holes and insert the 5/8” hitch pin. Lock it in place with the cotter pin clip.

    3. Install Attachment Ball Mount

    Selection: Choose an attachment that allows your trailer to sit level. Refer to “WHAT SIZE DROP HITCH DO I NEED” and “GROUND CLEARANCE GUIDE” for more information.

    Attachment: Install your chosen mount into the Shocker Hitch Frame.

    Secure: Use the hitch pins and cotter pin clips provided to lock the ball mount into place.

    4. Setting Air Pressure

    Load the Trailer: Hook up your trailer and load it as you normally would for travel.

    To Set Air: Hook up trailer using a properly selected ball adaptor and height adjustment to level trailer when loaded. Next, inflate the air spring. As air pressure increases, the unit will rotate, lifting the hitch point. Install enough air until the top of the hitch frame touches the top (tailgate side) bump cushion, or for heavy loads, until it compresses the tailgate side bump cushion by approximately 1/8″.

    Proper Air Pressure Guide

    Spacer Block Guide

    How do I know if I need a spacer block on my air receiver hitch? How do I know if I need a spacer block on my air receiver hitch? When your air receiver and trailer are hooked up, and the air receiver has the proper air pressure, the metal paddle above the air spring bag should be level with the air spring bag. If the paddle has more than a 10-degree angle when the air receiver hitch is aired up, a spacer block can be installed on top of the paddle to level the paddle and air spring bag. A spacer is needed when the angle between the bottom of the vehicle receiver and the top paddle above the air spring bag on the hitch is excessive. (A spacer block is used with 20K HD Air Receiver Hitches with a 2″ receiver (already installed) and some HD air receiver hitches with a 2-1/2″ receiver (Spacer comes in box). It is generally not ever needed with a 14K air receiver hitch, as the air spring bag is 1″ taller than the HD air spring bag.)

    Safety Notice: NEVER exceed 100PSI, as this can damage the air spring or bushings.

    When is a spacer block needed?

    Additional Set Up Notes:

    • When towing heavy trailers or trailers with high wind resistance, it may be necessary to increase air pressure in the Shocker.
    • It is highly recommended that the hitch ball be greased to reduce wear and improve shocker action.
    • Ensure you have connected your safety chains and electrical cord before towing.
    • DO NOT TIGHTEN THE TOP BOLT, IT IS A LIMITER STOP ONLY.

    Maximum Air Pressure: Do not exceed 100 psi in the air spring, as it may damage the air spring.

    Will the Shocker Air Bumper Hitch work with Equalizer or Weight-Distribution?  If you have an equalizer or weight distribution hitch, then it will not. However, check out our Shocker Air Equalizer for weight distribution hitches. If you are just using friction sway bars that hook to a mini ball (such as the shocker sway control arm bar kit), then yes, if you also have one of our sway bar tab mounts, such as the combo sway control ball mount attachment

    Routine Maintenance Guide:

    1. Routine Lubrication
      Pivot Bolt: Regularly grease the Shocker Hitch unit using the built-in grease zerk located on the main pivot bolt.
      Over-Greasing: You cannot over-grease the unit; frequent lubrication ensures the air-ride pivot remains fluid and responsive.
      Hitch Ball: It is highly recommended to grease the trailer coupler ball to reduce friction and prevent premature wear.
    2. Critical Adjustments
      Top Jamnut Bolt: DO NOT tighten the top jamnut bolt.
      Factory Specs: This bolt is set to factory specifications out of the box; overtightening will cause a stiff towing experience and limit the airbag’s effectiveness.
      Attachment Swapping: When changing between different ball mounts (Combo, Pintle, Clevis, etc.), ensure the pins and cotter pin clips are fully seated and locked.
    3. Air System Integrity
      Max Pressure: Never Exceed 100PSI in the air spring.
      Component Protection: Excessive pressure can lead to permanent damage to the air spring or the internal bump cushions.
      Pre-Tow Inspection: Always check your air pressure after loading the trailer to ensure the frame is lightly compressing the bump cushion.
