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.

When you haul a mix of gear, one trailer runs a pintle ring and the next drops onto a 2-5/16" ball, and swapping hitches every time gets old fast. On rough ground it's worse, because a plain ball coupler binds and chatters as the trailer twists over ruts and washboard. This channel-style Shocker combo pintle hook and ball gives you both couplings in one attachment. It works with all Shocker bumper hitches built with 3-3/4" width ID frames, and the adjustable 3-5/8" wide design is made specifically for those hitches, so you get maximum adjustability and use. The pintle side fits 2.5" to 3" ID pintle rings, and the ball side is a 2-5/16" chrome hitch ball. It carries 16,000 lbs of towing capacity and 1,600 lbs of tongue weight, enough for the heaviest work and equipment trailers you'll put behind it.

Key Highlights

  • Two couplers in one: the 8-ton pintle hook and ball combo hitches up pintle-ring trailers and ball-coupler trailers, so you don't swap hardware between loads.
  • Dial in a level tow: the 3" rise and 9" drop range matches your trailer height. With Shocker Air Hitches you get 3" to 7" of drop, with Impact series hitches +1" rise to 6-1/2" drop, and with XR series hitches +3" rise to 9" drop.
  • Fits what you tow: the 2-5/16" ball takes standard heavy couplers, and the pintle side grabs pintle rings with a 2-1/2" to 3" inner eye diameter.
  • Drops into the Shocker you already run: works with Shocker Air, Streamline and HD series bumper hitches, Shocker XR series hitches, and Impact series cushion hitches, fitting the 3-3/4" ID Shocker bumper hitch channel.
  • Rated for heavy work: 16,000 lbs of towing capacity and 1,600 lbs of tongue weight, an 8-ton pintle capacity, with the 2-5/16" ball rated to 16,000 lbs GTW.
  • Bolts up solid: the 3-5/8" wide OD mount slides into a 3-3/4" hitch ID channel and pins through a 3" on-center hole pattern with two 5/8" pins built for Shocker bumper hitches.

  • Works with Shocker Air, Streamline and HD series bumper hitches, XR series hitches, and Impact series cushion hitches, fitting the 3-3/4" ID Shocker bumper hitch channel.

The Details

This 8-ton pintle hook and ball combo covers both pintle-ring and ball-coupler trailers, so one attachment does the work of two. The 3" rise and 9" drop range lets you sit the trailer level. With Shocker Air Hitches you get 3" to 7" of drop, with Impact series hitches +1" rise to 6-1/2" drop, and with XR series hitches +3" rise to 9" drop. It's rated for 16,000 lbs of towing capacity and 1,600 lbs of tongue weight, an 8-ton pintle capacity, with the 2-5/16" ball rated to 16,000 lbs GTW.

When to Choose a Pintle Attachment

Pintle hook and ring couplings are the heavy-duty standard on ag and commercial trailers for a reason. They self-align as you back up under load, and they tolerate flex and twist far better than a ball coupler when the ground gets rough. If you're pulling work trailers across fields, job sites, or washboard back roads, this is the coupling built for it.
