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.
Your trailer's A-frame was built for a horizontal coupler, so the vertical channel coupler you actually want to run won't bolt to it. Short of changing the tongue itself, you're stuck. This weld-on adapter fixes that. It converts a typical 50-degree trailer tongue into a vertical channel mount, so your A-frame accepts vertical channel couplers instead. Six adjustment holes on a 2" on-center bolt pattern line right up with typical vertical channel couplers, and the actual vertical channel measures 3-1/2" x 11-3/4". It's shaped to fit the tongue: 4" wide at the outer front, 11" wide at the outer rear, and 7-1/2" from front to back, all in premium-grade steel. Whether you're modifying an existing trailer or building one from scratch, this is how you get the coupler you need onto the frame you've got. Available completely welded, spot welded, or as just the components.
