Smoother Safer Towing

Improves your ride, reduces wear & tear on pickup & 5th wheel camper trailer. Our Air Ride Technology protects your truck, 5th wheel camper trailer and the contents with a smoother, safer tow.

Auto Latching Demco Coupler

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.

What This Kit Converts

Replaces Your Factory Pin Box

Your camper's factory 5th-wheel kingpin pin box comes off. The Shocker gooseneck pin box bolts in using your existing bolt holes — no welding, no drilling.

Adds Air Ride at the Connection

The Shocker Gooseneck Surge air hitch slides into the new pin box. Its built-in air bag absorbs the chucking, jerking, and bangs that 5th-wheel kingpin connections transmit straight into the truck cab.

Lets You Tow Gooseneck

The included Demco EZ Latch coupler hooks to any 2-5/16-inch gooseneck ball in your truck bed. Auto-latches when lowered onto the ball.

Frees the Truck Bed

No more giant 5th-wheel slider hitch eating two-thirds of your bed. Gooseneck ball drops in and the rest of your bed stays usable.

Fits These OEM Pin Box Families

This product line ships in three SKUs differentiated by your camper's factory pin box. The kit you're viewing fits a specific subset — check your existing pin box label before ordering:

  • Lippert 1621, 0719, Rhino Box (SKU SH-RVGC-4405 variant)
  • Lippert 1716, 1116, 0115, FabEx 500/503/520/530/560 (SKU SH-RVGC-4410 variant)
  • Lippert Turning Point (SKU SH-RVGC-4415 variant)
  • Compatible with RBW 7028 and similar straight-pin patterns
  • All three variants share the same air hitch, coupler, and 24,000 lbs rating
  • Existing pin box bolts are reused for installation

Full Kit vs. Other Camper Conversion Paths

Three paths exist to upgrade a 5th-wheel camper. This is the most complete:

Option 1

Full Kit (this product)

Pin box + air hitch + Demco EZ Latch coupler. Complete bolt-on conversion to gooseneck towing. The default choice if you don't already own any of these parts.

Option 2

Hitch Only (replacement)

Just the air hitch and coupler. Choose this if you already own a Shocker gooseneck pin box and need to replace the upper assembly.

Option 3

Pin Box Only

Just the gooseneck pin box housing. Cheapest entry point. Buy this now and add the air hitch and coupler later as a Phase 2 upgrade.

Option 4

Air Ride Kingpin Box

Stays as a 5th-wheel kingpin but adds air-ride dampening. Choose this if you don't want to convert to gooseneck and prefer to keep your existing 5th-wheel hitch in the truck bed.

Why Air Ride Matters Most on a 5th Wheel

5th-wheel campers transmit road shock as a forward-and-back chucking motion through the kingpin — the worst kind of jerk to feel inside the camper or the cab. The Shocker Gooseneck Surge air hitch is the only air ride hitch designed to work exclusively in that forward-and-back direction. The built-in air bag absorbs the chucking before it reaches the cabinets, slide-outs, dishes, or your spine. Owners report fuel savings of 1-2 mpg, less wear on the truck driveline, and a noticeably calmer ride.

Important: Safety Chains Sold Separately

Gooseneck towing legally requires safety chains. The Shocker SH-PBCK gooseneck chain kit is required and sold separately. Your existing pin box bolts are reused — no new mounting hardware needed. A 2-5/16" gooseneck ball must already be installed in the truck bed (not included). Optional locks: DEM-17654-81 coupler lock and SH-400GL-ISP-BLK set bolt lock are available separately.

What's Included

  • Replacement gooseneck pin box (matched to your OEM pin box family)
  • Shocker Gooseneck Surge air hitch with built-in air bag
  • Replacement inner tube stem (round 4-inch) with adjustment pin
  • Demco EZ Latch coupler (2-5/16-inch) — pre-installed on stem
  • 3-inch forward offset for short-bed clearance
  • Set bolt and lock nut
  • Schrader air valve with cap
  • Installation instructions

Not Included

  • Safety chains (SH-PBCK chain kit sold separately — required for gooseneck towing)
  • Pin box mounting bolts (existing bolts from your factory pin box are reused)
  • Gooseneck ball in truck bed (must already be installed)
  • Air compressor or pressure gauge (available separately)
  • Optional gooseneck coupler lock (DEM-17654-81) and set bolt lock (SH-400GL-ISP-BLK)

Installation

Moderate — Some Experience~90 minutes

Support the front of the camper with a jack stand. Remove the factory 5th-wheel pin box (typically 6-8 bolts). Lift the new Shocker gooseneck pin box into place and reuse the factory bolts to fasten. Insert the air hitch stem and pin to height. Attach safety chains (sold separately). Inflate air bag. Lower onto your truck-bed gooseneck ball and confirm auto-latch.

Tools needed:

Socket wrench set (3/4" and larger) · Floor jack to support the front of the camper · Two adults recommended (pin box is heavy) · Tire-style air pump for initial inflation
