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.
The Shocker Metric Off-Road Tongue Mount is the export variant of the air ride hitch line — built for Australia and Europe where 50mm and 70mm metric hitch balls are the standard. The mount has a 22mm (7/8-inch) ball-bolt hole instead of a fixed pre-installed ball, letting you bolt on any metric ball that matches your trailer coupler. Rated at 12,000 lbs GTW with 1,200 lbs tongue weight. Slides into a standard 2-inch receiver tube on the tow vehicle.
Key Highlights
- Metric 22mm (7/8-inch) ball hole — accepts 50mm or 70mm metric balls
- 12,000 lbs GTW capacity and 1,200 lbs tongue weight rating
- 1/2" to 4-1/2" Drop — dial in the right trailer height
- Built-in air ride absorbs road shock from corrugated and unsealed roads
- Off-road longer-tongue variant for AU/EU rough terrain
- Adjustable air pressure for loaded vs. empty trailers
- Safety red powder coat — corrosion-resistant for AU/EU coastal climates
- Made in Jamestown, North Dakota — exported to AU and EU markets
Engineered for AU & EU Towing Standards
22mm Ball-Bolt Hole
Australian and European trailer couplers use 50mm or 70mm balls bolted to the mount — not pressed-on US-style balls. The 22mm (7/8-inch) hole lets you fit any metric ball your trailer coupler is rated for.
Off-Road Longer Tongue
The off-road variant ships with a longer ball tongue for clearance on rough terrain, station-wagon tow rigs, and overland builds where backing angles and approach geometry matter.
Same Patented Air Ride
Built-in air bag and rocker-arm pivot — the same proven Shocker air ride system used in the US lineup. The forward/back motion absorbs corrugation, gravel-road washboard, and rough sealed-road sections.
Adjustable Air for Variable Loads
Add or release air to fine-tune the ride for your trailer weight. Critical for AU/EU caravan and camper-trailer towing where fully-loaded vs. empty changes the ride dramatically.
Ideal For These AU & EU Applications
The metric off-road variant is designed for the unique demands of Australian outback and European caravanning:
- Australian off-road camper trailers and caravans
- European caravan towing on mixed sealed and unsealed roads
- AU/EU 4WD overland and expedition trailers
- Horse floats with metric coupler standards
- Box trailers and utility trailers with 50mm or 70mm couplers
- Any AU/EU bumper-pull trailer up to 12,000 lbs GTW
Metric Off-Road vs. US-Spec Hitches
Buyers often ask why a separate AU/EU variant exists:
Metric Off-Road (this product)
22mm ball-bolt hole. Accepts 50mm or 70mm metric balls. Longer off-road tongue. Made for AU/EU trailer coupler standards. Will NOT fit a pressed-in US ball.
Original Shocker Air Hitch (US)
US-standard ball mount with pressed-on 1-7/8-inch, 2-inch, or 2-5/16-inch ball. Will NOT match an AU/EU 50mm or 70mm metric coupler.
Metric Export EU (separate line)
Same metric ball-bolt design but with the standard tongue length — choose this if you don't need the longer off-road tongue.
Multiple Mount Geometries Available
The metric line offers standard, drop, and raise mount geometries to handle ride-height variation between AU/EU 4WDs, utes, and caravans. 1/2" to 4-1/2" Drop is the configuration on this SKU. The 8-hole receiver shank gives 7 inches of total adjustment range so you can level the trailer to your specific tow vehicle. Hitch ball is NOT included — buy a 50mm or 70mm metric ball locally that matches your trailer coupler rating.
Why Air Ride for AU/EU Towing
Australian outback corrugation, European unsealed forest tracks, and rough sealed sections all transmit harsh shock through a hard ball coupler — beating the trailer, the cargo, and the tow vehicle's rear suspension. The Shocker air bag absorbs road shock before it reaches the trailer frame and tow vehicle. Adjustable air pressure lets you dial it in for your specific load and road type. Same patented system used worldwide; this variant is purpose-built for AU/EU coupler standards. Manufactured in Jamestown, North Dakota and exported.
