Stop destroying your trailer and cargo.
Every bump, pothole, and expansion joint sends a violent jolt through your trailer frame, damaging cargo and wearing out your truck. Shocker Air Ride Hitches absorb that punishment at the coupling, before it reaches your trailer.
That squirrelly back-and-forth tug you feel when a semi blows past or a crosswind slams the side of the trailer is trailer sway, and it wears on your nerves, your truck, and your cargo every mile down the road. The Shocker Hitch Sway Control Friction Arm & Ball Kit is the low-cost way to calm it down. It puts steady friction resistance against the trailer's side-to-side motion so a little wiggle can't build into a white-knuckle wobble. Whether you're towing a camper, a smaller trailer, or something bigger, sway comes on from wind, passing vehicles, and rough, uneven roads, and this kit is built to pull it out of the ride. It works with the many Shocker Hitch ball mounts that have sway arm bar mounting tabs, so it drops right into the setup you already run. In stock in Canada and ships direct, no border wait.
