Question 1

Do I need to upgrade my pin box?

Accepted Answer

In most cases no — the Shocker 5th wheel air hitch is compatible with the majority of OEM pin boxes from Lippert, MORryde, and similar. Use the configurator below to check compatibility with your specific pin box, or call our team.

Question 2

Will it work with my Grand Design, Montana, or Jayco?

Accepted Answer

Yes — these are some of our most common installations. Grand Design, Keystone Montana, Jayco, Forest River, and Heartland 5th wheels are all typically supported. Confirm the pin box model during checkout.

Question 3

How does it give me my truck bed back?

Accepted Answer

Instead of a bulky 5th wheel rail system in your bed, you install a simple gooseneck ball. When you are not towing, pull the ball out and flip the cap flush with the bed. Your truck bed is 100% usable again.

Question 4

Is it actually smoother than a traditional 5th wheel hitch?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The air bag at the pin box absorbs road shock that would otherwise transmit straight into your camper. Customers consistently report less shelf rattle, fewer cabinet failures, and a noticeably calmer interior ride.

Question 5

What truck prep do I need?

Accepted Answer

You need gooseneck prep in the bed — either factory-equipped or installed aftermarket. Most modern 3/4-ton and 1-ton trucks can be prepped easily.

Question 6

How does installation compare to a regular 5th wheel hitch?

Accepted Answer

The camper side bolts to your pin box. The truck side uses a standard gooseneck ball install. Overall it is comparable in complexity to a traditional 5th wheel hitch, with the big upside of a clear truck bed afterwards.

Question 7

Can I tow my 5th wheel with different trucks?

Accepted Answer

Yes — any truck with a gooseneck ball in the bed can tow it. This makes it ideal for families with multiple trucks or full-timers who occasionally swap rigs.
