14K Air Hitch & Drop Mount w/ 2-5/16" Ball Installed
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Shocker air drop hitch adds instant air ride towing to your pickup and trailer. The Shocker Air Receiver Hitch with adjustable drop ball mount comes with a 2" or 2-5/16" hitch ball with a 4-1/2" to 8-1/2" Drop: 14,000 lbs tow rating capacity and 1,400 lbs tongue weight. The built-in air ride cushions the hitch and absorbs the bumps, jerks, tugs, and road shock while you are towing. Shocker air with a drop hitch provides the ultimate smooth ride for taller pickups. The Shocker Air is a miniature air suspension unit mounted between your truck and trailer. This Shocker mounts by sliding into a standard receiver tube. The Shocker air with drop ball mount is great for taller pickup trucks. This shock absorbing hitch is a must have for smoother trailer towing.
The air spring sits under the receiver tube, allowing a short distance of 10 inches between the mounting pin and ball center. You will find the advantage of the Air Shocker is your ability to adjust air pressure for best ride and load control. Plus the drop range is great for higher than stock pickup trucks. Fits Pickup Trucks, Vans, and select SUVs with the hitch under the bumper. Manufactured by Shocker Hitch® USA in Jamestown, ND.
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.
Note: Bolt on 2" Ball is 10,000 lbs GTW & 1,000 lbs TW / 2-5/16" Ball is 20,000 lbs GTW & 2,000 lbs TW.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS OF THE CUSTOMERS
No, the drop mount's strength is designed for it to be used normally, not flipped around. We do have raised mounts you can get for that.

That is the great thing about the airbag system, it is fully adjustable to the weight you are towing so it will work great for you at 9K.

With using in an application of hauling a boat and submerging the hitch in water, you would want to make sure you are greasing the main pivot point much like you do your boat trailer axels. You will also want to keep water from sitting on the hitch for long periods of time. With storing the hitch for long periods of time you can release there air out of the air bag. Thank you for choosing Shocker Hitch.

You would need to use both pins in order for the hitch to work correctly and safely.

CUSTOMER REVIEWS
Flawless! I tow my X23 Mastercraft long distances and with no suspension on boat trailers this hitch takes a great deal of the pounding of rough roads out, i could feel the difference within 1/4 mile of towing.
I tow a pretty small horse trailer behind a full-size pickup, and with the Shocker Hitch on, the truck actually rides smoother and better with the trailer than it does without! I couldn't believe the difference, and I know if it's that much smoother of a ride for me, it's got to be a better ride for the horse as well. Standing on four legs on a trailer is hard work, and anything I can do to make journeys easier and more comfortable for my horse is money well spent for me. Great customer service too - I emailed with a question, and within 5 minutes I had a phone call from Shocker talking me through my questions and verifying that my setup looked good. A+ product and A+ customer service!
Have been running this hitch for the past two years and will never pull another trailer without it.
Works really well. If you have the means I recommend it.
We recently purchased our second Shocker a hitch. We first purchased in 2014, this hitch has been nothing short of exceptional. Our recent and second purchase was due to an upgrading a trailer size and heavy capacity. Very pleased with the quality of both units and well worth the cost for the improved ride and reduced wear on our truck. CS has been more than helpful in both purchases and lightning quick shipping.
My hitch is pretty trick. I have had every hitch type made in the usa, and a few from Canada and Europe. This air system type hitch I purchased is my favorite. I will be purchasing another. Regards Glen Wilson
Great receiver. Quietest hitch I have every used, because of the airbag it has a tight fit (no clunks or rattles). The airbag cushions the link between truck and trailer. I tow a 17 ft horse trailer that empty weights 4000 lbs. It is also tongue heavy at 1000 lbs when empty. The hitch dampens the bounce I get when towing the empty trailer. When the horses are loaded the trailer weights in around 6500 lbs and is better balanced. The hitch continues to smooth the ride. The horses seem to be more relaxed after a trip in the trailer now.
Great product. So much smoother towing.
very well made and works well
I hooked it up to my trailer and pulled it for about 50 miles . I couldn't believe the difference in the smooth pulling. I've trailered a lot of miles and i wish i bought the Shocker along time ago. Im ordering a gooseneck shockerASAP. TONY R
