All features & technical notes

Features

Smoother Safer Towing Every Mile - Air Ride Weight Distribution Hitch Kit: Add bolt on air ride towing to your pickup & camper or trailer in minutes. It filters and absorbs road shock, tugs, jerks, bumps, bangs, and sways through the built in air ride suspension system, creating a smooth ride.

It directs the normal towing resistance between the tow vehicle and the trailer through the air ride system, which produces a much smoother ride. It also naturally reduces trailer sway by filtering and absorbing the changing tongue weight that occurs when towing on uneven or rough roads.

Easy to Adjust Chain Style Weight Distribution Hitch Levels Your Pickup Truck: Evenly distributes the weight over the axles of your towing pickup & trailer to add stability & control. Chain style design makes it easier to adjust the load bars.

If your truck is squatting from the weight on the trailer, this will distribute the weight evenly across the pickup and trailer. This is great for travel camping trailers, heavy duty trailers, race trailers and toy haulers.

Fits 2-1/2" Receiver Hitches: Works great on 3/4 & 1 ton pickups including GMC Sierra 2500, 3500, Chevy Silverado 2500, 3500, Ram 2500, 3500, Ford F250, F350, F450, F550 Super Duty pickup trucks.

Easily Adjust Air Pressure for Ride Comfort, Trailer Tow Weight & Load Control: You can easily fine-tune and adjust the air pressure for the best ride and load control on every trip. For heavier loads, increase the air pressure; for lighter loads reduce it. A cushion, steel spring or torsion hitch is not adjustable for tow weight or tongue weight.

The air ride equalizer, when used with a compatible weight distribution system, allows for better control of your pickup & trailer. Reduces Stress, Breakage, Wear & Tear on Truck, Trailer, Cargo & Equipment: Our air ride equalizer for a WD hitch reduces wear and tear on the pickup truck, driveline, trailer and frame.

The shock absorbing and dampening design of an air hitch creates less stress on tow vehicle and trailer. Less stress means less wear and tear on both the tow vehicle and the trailer frame and welds. It's a must have for newer trailers with aluminum frames that tend to crack because of rough roads and a traditional hard truck to trailer connection.

An air ride hitch will greatly reduce the chances of frame cracking and breaking. Reduces Stress on Passengers & Animals: Passengers and animals experience less stress while being towed.

The shock dampening design effectively absorbs the jerking, tugging, bumps and damaging forces experienced when towing on rough roads and concrete highway, which you would normally feel with a typical hard connection. This makes the ride smoother and less stressful inside the tow vehicle and the trailer.

Saves Money & Improves Fuel Economy: By reducing trailer breakage on both the trailer & cargo. The air equalizer absorbs the damaging forces experienced with a typical hard connection. This greatly reduces the chances of breaking welds & doing other long-term damage to your equipment & valuable cargo.

Customers report 1 to 2 miles per gallon because the tow vehicle & trailer work together better with less friction, which reduces downshifting and improves performance. Adjustable for Rise or Drop with 12,000 lbs of GTW: Get 12,000 lbs gross trailer weight & 1,200 lbs tongue weight capacity. 9" of Adjustment 5" rise to 4" drop.

Fine tuned for your towing weight. Just add air for heavier loads. Shocker Air Ride Equalizer Weight Distribution Hitch Kit System includes: Air Equalizer, Adjustable XR Channel Hitch for 2-1/2" Receiver with two hitch pins with clips, Chain Style Round Bar Weight Distribution Hitch with 2-5/16" chrome hitch ball.

Designed to fit 2-5/16" trailer couplers, if you have a 2" trailer coupler you will need to change the hitch ball.

It is also compatible with supporting 2 friction sway arms, which are sold separately. (Shocker Sway Bar Kit) Premium Matte Black Powder Coat Finish: Constructed out of heavy-duty steel that is finished with a premium textured black powder-coat finish on the air equalizer & the XR hitch.

20+ Mount Attachment Options: The XR channel hitch, when not used with this air equalizer, also works well with all our Shocker receiver hitch ball mount attachments, which include Combo Ball, Drop, Raised, Sway Bar Tab Options, Pintle, Pintle with Ball, Drawbar, Clevis Pin, Shackle & More. How to set the air?

After you hook up WD bars, air the hitch until the truck side bump cushions are not compressed. If the trailer side bump cushions are compressed, you have too much air in the air ride system.
