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.
Corrugated outback tracks and rough sealed roads hammer a rigid hitch, and every jolt runs straight into your caravan, your gear, and your tow vehicle's rear end. This is the export version of the Shocker air ride hitch, built for Australia and Europe where trailers run 50mm and 70mm metric balls. Instead of a fixed pressed-on ball, it has a 22mm (7/8-inch) bolt hole, so you fit whatever metric ball your trailer coupler is rated for. It hauls up to 12,000 lbs GTW with 1,200 lbs of tongue weight, enough for a loaded caravan or camper trailer, and slides straight into a standard 2-inch receiver tube on the tow vehicle.

- 22mm (7/8-inch) bolt hole fits any 50mm or 70mm metric ball your trailer coupler needs

Made to Match AU and EU Towing
22mm Bolt Hole for Metric Balls
Australian and European couplers run 50mm or 70mm balls bolted to the mount, not pressed-on US-style balls. The 22mm (7/8-inch) hole lets you fit whatever metric ball your trailer coupler is rated for.
Longer Off-Road Tongue
The off-road version ships with a longer ball tongue, so you get clearance on rough terrain, station-wagon tow rigs, and overland builds where backing angles and approach geometry matter.
The Same Patented Air Ride
A built-in air bag and rocker-arm pivot, the same proven Shocker air ride found in the US lineup. The forward and back motion absorbs corrugation, gravel-road washboard, and rough sealed sections so your trailer stops feeling every bump.
Air You Can Adjust for Any Load
Add or bleed off air to fine-tune the ride for your trailer weight. That matters for AU and EU caravans and camper trailers, where a full load rides very differently from an empty one.
Where This Hitch Earns Its Keep
The metric off-road version is built for the real demands of the Australian outback and European caravanning:
- Australian off-road camper trailers and caravans
- European caravans on mixed sealed and unsealed roads
- AU and EU 4WD overland and expedition trailers
- Horse floats running metric couplers
- Box and utility trailers with 50mm or 70mm couplers
- Any AU or EU bumper-pull trailer up to 12,000 lbs GTW
How This Compares to the US Hitches
Buyers often ask why there is a separate AU and EU version:
Metric Off-Road (this product)
22mm bolt hole that takes a 50mm or 70mm metric ball. Longer off-road tongue. Built for AU and EU trailer couplers. It will NOT fit a pressed-in US ball.
Original Shocker Air Hitch (US)
US-standard ball mount with a pressed-on 1-7/8-inch, 2-inch, or 2-5/16-inch ball. It will NOT match an AU or EU 50mm or 70mm metric coupler.
Metric Export EU (separate line)
Same bolt-on metric ball design with the standard tongue length. Pick this one if you don't need the longer off-road tongue.
Pick the Right Height for Your Rig
The metric line comes in standard, drop, and raise geometries to handle the ride-height gap between AU and EU 4WDs, utes, and caravans. This SKU is set up with 1/2" to 4-1/2" of drop. The 8-hole receiver shank gives you 7 inches of total adjustment range, so you can level the trailer to your exact tow vehicle. The hitch ball is NOT included, so pick up a 50mm or 70mm metric ball locally that matches your trailer coupler rating.
Why Air Ride Matters Out Here
Outback corrugation, unsealed European forest tracks, and rough sealed sections all slam harsh shock through a rigid ball coupler, and that beating lands on the trailer, the cargo, and your tow vehicle's rear suspension. The Shocker air bag catches that road shock before it reaches the trailer frame and tow vehicle. Adjustable air pressure lets you dial it in for your load and the road you are on. It is the same patented system used around the world, rebuilt here for AU and EU coupler standards. In stock in Canada and ready for export.
