Easily Adjust for Trailer Weight, Best Ride & Load Control: Fine tune the PSI for best ride, load control & trailer weight. Just add air pressure for heavier loads and reduce air pressure for lighter loads. When you are towing a trailer, the road bumps and jerks displace the weight.

An air hitch absorbs this and cushions it so when a bump causes the weight to come off the front of your vehicle, it can put too much tongue weight on it. An air hitch absorbs this. Without an air hitch, this can result in poor steering and braking. When a bump causes the weight to be displaced and put too much weight on the rear trailer tires.

Reduces Stress, Breakage, Wear & Tear on Truck, Trailer, Cargo & Equipment: This tongue mount air coupler reduces damage on pickup truck, driveline, trailer and frame.

Less stress means less wear and tear on both the tow vehicle and the trailer frame and welds.

This air ride tongue mount coupler will greatly reduce the chances of frame cracking and breaking.

Less Stress on Passengers & Animals: Passengers & 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 inside the trailer. Simple & Effective Pivoting, Shock Absorbing Design: Filters, dampens & absorbs the road shock through the air ride system & urethane cushions with the greaseable 1" diameter pivot bolt. Uses a rocker arm pivot design to work with the air ride system.

The heat treaded harden, greaseable 1" diameter 1045 carbon steel pivot bolt used in the Shocker HD air tongue mount coupler is heat treated to prevent wear & has machined grease passage for easy lubrication.

The yield strength of the 1" pivot bolt exceeds that of the two 5/8" bolts used to hold the typical ball coupler on the average vertical channel adapter.
