Product Description
- Smoother Safer Towing: Air ride towing technology with a heavy duty built in air spring to cushion the ride & absorb the road shock. The air ride system sits under receiver tube. Adjust the air pressure for the best ride and load control.
- Built in HD Air Ride: Filters & absorbs the road shock, tugs, jerks, bumps, bangs & sways through the air ride suspension system and creates smooth ride. The pivoting air ride design naturally reduces the tendency of trailer sway. Dual urethane bump cushions offers additional HD performance.
- Adjustable for Tow Weight: Fine-tune for your towing weight. Add or reduce air depending on the weight of your trailer & contents for best ride & load control. Just add air for heavier loads.
- Adds Life To Your Vehicle & Trailer: By reducing wear & tear on driveline & frame. Treat yourself, passengers & equipment to a much smoother ride.

No reason to beat yourself & equipment up with a hard hitch connection.

Excellent, very smooth and quite hitch. Takes the jarring out of towing. Recommended to friends.
I’m about 1000 miles into my first trip with the 20K shocker hitch. I could tell in minutes it was smoothing out the transitions between the truck and trailer. Game changer for sure! Would buy again.
So far so good. It does make a difference
As always very impressed with the product and the quality of the products. This will make my 5th time buying there hitches! I need to stop buying trucks.
I’ve been pulling trailers for a very long time, I can’t believe I didn’t buy this sooner!
Went with this hitch because we didn’t want to mess with W/D anymore. Also wanted the airbag to soften the rough ride transmitted from the dually to the front of the trailer. Highly recommend.
Excellent hitch and what is better is the customer service. I ordered wrong size receiver and they replaced with no questions. Customer service like this is very rare.
Unbelievable, the vibration it takes out of the vehicle and trailer, which means the smoother ride.
Excellent product excellent service
We installed the Shocker hitch, drove from WI to Nebraska with an empty trailer. It was a smooth ride! It would have been a rough ride without it. We brought a tractor back and that was great too.
Instantly noticed the difference. Made towing more comfortable on some of the rough roads we traveled. Would recommend this to anyone.
Have bought three of your hitches for three different vehicles of my an I like very much two air one one regular one but need order fourth one 20k
The Shocker provides a cushion for the traditional rigid connection between truck and trailer. Smooths the bumps and vertical oscillation, especially when making transitions across overpasses. Seems well built and the ability to adjust the height to level a trailer is nice. It is HEAVY; don’t think you’re going to one-hand it in and out of your truck bed or tool box.
Extremely Heavy Duty!! Great product, well worth the money for a smooth comfortable tow!!
First of the year bought one for our gooseneck and last month ended up getting a bumper hitch to use on our 20′ 14k dual axle trailer. Before it about shook you out of the seat empty and even when loaded. Used it this past weekend for the first time with @ 27# air in it and wow, didn’t even know I was pulling a trailer. Had a 8′ snow-blower on it. Wife was impressed on on it even road, being she had experienced the old way a time or two before getting the shock hitch!
I’ve had the original i bought in 2015 and this one is even better couldn’t be happier
Love my new shocker air hitch, heavy duty and makes the ride way better !
good
