Product Description
- Air Ride Sway Control Towing Kit: Get smoother, safer towing with the Shocker Sport™ air ride system. The built-in airbag absorbs road shock and cushions the ride, giving you instant air-ride comfort between your pickup and trailer.
- Built-In Air Ride System: The Sport air hitch absorbs bumps, bangs, jerks, tugs, and rough-road shock you normally feel with a hard connection. The air ride system and dual bump cushions help naturally reduce sway and create a smoother ride. The air ride system sits under the receiver tube, and you can adjust air pressure for the best towing feel and load control.
- Great for Reducing Trailer Sway: Comes with one friction sway control arm kit, ideal for trailers up to 10,000 lbs and up to 24′. The Sport air hitch smooths out the ride, while the friction sway control arm helps prevent side-to-side trailer movement. The adjustable friction bar lets you fine-tune your sway control.
- Sway Bar Tab Combo Ball: Features a sway-tab combo multi-ball mount with built-in tabs for mounting the included sway control mini ball. Choose your finish in chrome, red, or black. The combo ball includes both a 2″ ball and a 2-5/16″ ball for towing versatility.

- Comfortable Ride: The air ride cushioning helps eliminate the jarring impact you feel on concrete highways, section dividers, and rough surfaces. Your Shocker air hitch absorbs the thumps and bumps that normally transfer into your truck and trailer.
- Simple Pivot Design: Uses a rocker-arm pivot motion that creates a natural down-and-back movement. This simple, effective design avoids the slides, roller systems, and multiple airbags used on other air hitches.
- Saves Money & Extends Equipment Life: By absorbing damaging road shock, the Sport air hitch reduces stress on your trailer, cargo, and towing vehicle. This helps minimize broken welds, cracked components, and long-term wear caused by a hard connection.

If trailer sway is a concern when towing, the Shocker Sport™ Air Hitch with a single friction sway control arm kit provides an effective, affordable, and highly adjustable solution. This setup pairs our Sport air hitch, rated for trailers up to 8,000 lbs GTW and 800 lbs tongue weight, with a friction sway control system designed to keep your trailer steady, straight, and firmly aligned with your tow vehicle.
The Shocker Sport™ air receiver hitch is built to absorb the bumps, jerks, and tugs you typically feel with a rigid hitch connection. Its built-in air ride system and dual bump cushions filter out road shock from concrete, asphalt, and gravel, creating a smoother, more controlled towing experience while reducing wear on your truck, trailer, and cargo. You can easily fine-tune the feel by adjusting air pressure to match different trailer weights and loads. The Sport hitch fits standard 2″ receiver tubes on pickups, vans, and select SUVs with under-bumper hitches, making installation simple and straightforward.
To help eliminate trailer sway, this kit includes a single friction sway control arm that’s ideal for trailers up to 10,000 pounds and up to 24 feet long. The friction arm connects from the trailer’s A-frame to the included sway-tab combo ball mount on the hitch, stiffening the connection between truck and trailer and counteracting sway caused by wind, passing vehicles, and uneven road surfaces.
The included sway-tab combo ball mount is a solid, one-piece design and comes equipped with both a 2″ hitch ball and a 2-5/16″ hitch ball for towing versatility. You can also choose your preferred finish: chrome, red, or black powder coat finish, allowing you to match your towing setup with both performance and style. Each sway control arm kit comes with the complete friction arm assembly, the trailer-mounted and hitch-mounted mini balls, and all required mounting hardware for a secure installation. The air ride mechanism is positioned under the receiver tube, maintaining a responsive ten-inch distance between the hitch pin and ball center for improved control and handling.
This single-arm sway control setup is an excellent solution for travel trailers, toy haulers, race trailers, and heavy-duty utility trailers. The Shocker Air Hitch® is proudly made in the USA by Shocker Hitch® in Jamestown, North Dakota, delivering durability, long-lasting performance, and a dramatically smoother towing experience every time you hit the road.
