Convert your trailer a-frame to
one that accepts Vertical Channel couplers.
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.
If the coupler you want to run is a vertical channel style but your trailer a-frame ends in a standard horizontal tongue, the two won't mate up and there's no clean way to bolt one to the other. This weld-on adapter closes that gap. It takes a typical 50-degree trailer tongue and converts it to accept a vertical channel coupler, and it gives you 6 adjustment holes so you can dial in ride height instead of living with whatever bolt-up you're stuck with. The vertical channel measures 3-1/2" x 11-3/4" with a 2" on-center bolt pattern, which lines up with the common vertical channel couplers out there. It runs 4" wide at the outer front, 11" wide at the outer rear, and 7-1/2" front to back, built from premium-grade steel to carry real load. Order it fully welded, spot welded, or as just the components if you'd rather finish the fit yourself. It's a solid pick for modifying an existing trailer or building a custom one from scratch, and it ships direct from our Canada stock with no border wait. Professional welding is required to install it right.
